John 2:14-22<\/a><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some, particularly among Protestant commentators, say that the advent of Jesus and Christianity\u00a0eliminated the need for a temple. \u00a0But Jesus\u2019 righteous zeal for the House of God, which is depicted in all four of the canonical gospels, seems to suggest (along with such passages as his reference to the temple as \u201cmy Father\u2019s house,\u201d in Luke 2:49) that Jesus venerated<\/em> the temple.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Notice, too, that the Jesus who calmly braided a whip and then proceeded to drive the money-changers out of the sacred precincts and to overturn their tables and chairs and to dump their coins out on the ground wasn\u2019t the weak and shrinking \u201cconsumptive schoolgirl\u201d whom the young C. S. Lewis saw depicted in church art and rejected in disgust.<\/p>\n
