The Cleansing of the Temple refers to an episode in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The episode is narrated in the Synoptic Gospels (Mark 11:15–19.27–33; Matthew 21:12–17.23–27; Luke 19:45–48, 20:1–8), as well as in the Gospel of John (John 2:13–16), although with a different chronology.

Overview

The Cleansing of the Temple in Scholarship

Scholars tends to support the Synoptics' chronology, as the episode makes more sense at the end of Jesus' ministry. It was this open challenge to the authority of the Temple that likely prompted the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus.
