John 2:13 - 2:25
Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
In this analysis of John 2:13-25, Steve Gregg examines the story of Jesus driving out merchants from the temple. He notes that this event is the only one recorded in all four Gospels, although John's account is slightly different from the others. Gregg emphasizes the importance of avoiding hypocritical behavior in religious leaders and cautions against allowing financial interests to interfere with the worship of God. Ultimately, he argues that Jesus' actions were motivated by a desire to uphold the glory of God and promote righteousness, rather than personal anger or self-interest.
