マルコの福音書 11:17-18 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:15-17

Christ cleansing the temple. The acts of our Lord were not merely intended to accomplish an immediate result. Had they been, they were sadly ineffectual. If, for example, he had simply set before himself the design of clearing the temple of intruders, he could have secured that end more permanently than he did. But he recognized that the noblest thing is not to cut off a public abuse, but to dry up the spring whence it flows, which often lies deep in the human heart. Remedial measures are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:15-18

The holy house. It is significant that our Lord should have performed the authoritative and symbolical act of cleansing the temple twice—at the commencement, and again at the close, of his ministry. We learn that no real reformation had taken place in the religious habits of the chief priests and the people who frequented the holy place; they continued to practice the abuses which had been already so justly and so sternly rebuked. And we learn also that Jesus, although hated and despised... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:15-18

The cleansing of the temple. Jesus came to "bear witness unto the truth." One truth was the sanctity of that "house of prayer" which was opened for "all the nations." But have the rightful guardians of that house preserved for it this sacredness, that the feet of the wearied and the heart of the sorrowful of all nations might be allured within its hallowed walls, where in humble penitence and prayer, and with strong cries to the God of heaven and earth, they might find rest and peace and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:15-19

Jesus cleansing the temple. A second occasion; the first occurring at the beginning of his ministry ( John 2:13-17 ). A fulfillment of Malachi 3:1 , Malachi 3:2 . I. THERE IS A TENDENCY IN THE MOST SACRED INSTITUTIONS TO DECAY AND ABUSE . Most of the abominations swept away by Christ had their origin in immemorial custom, and the demands of the worshippers themselves. Traffic came to assume a religious character, and gain was excused on account of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:17

My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations ( πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ). St. Mark, writing for Gentiles, assures them that the God of the Jews is the God of all the nations; and that the court of the Gentiles, which was then so profaned, was a constituent part of his house of prayer. St. Jerome notes Christ's action in driving out the profaners of the temple as a great proof of his Divine power, that he alone should have been able to cast out so great a multitude. He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:17

The Church—ideal and actual. I. THE CHURCH IN ITS IDEAL . As viewed under this aspect it has: 1 . A twofold character. ( Isaiah 56:7 .) 2 . This twofold intention of the Church is certain to be fulfilled. As we have seen, it is II. THE CHURCH IN ITS CORRUPTION. In the mean time what God intended has been frustrated by the worldliness of men. The consequence has been: 1 . A complete contradiction to its original purpose. Even in Jeremiah's day the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:18

And the chief priests and the scribes —this is the right order of the words— heard it ( ἤκουσαν ), and sought ( ἐζήτουν ) —began to seek , or were seeking (imperfect)— how they might destroy him ( ἀπολέσουσιν ). They were seeking how they might, not only put him to death, but "utterly destroy him," stamp out his name and influence as a great spiritual energy in the world. This action of his raised them to the highest pitch of fury and indignation. Their... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 11:11-26

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 21:18-22.Mark 11:11Into the temple - Not into the edifice properly called “the temple,” but into the “courts” which surrounded the principal edifice. Our Saviour, not being of the tribe of Levi, was not permitted to enter into the holy or most holy place; and when, therefore, it is said that he went into the “temple,” it is always to be understood of the “courts” surrounding the temple. See the notes at Matthew 21:12.And when he had looked... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 11:15-17

Mark 11:15-17. And they come to Jerusalem Jesus, having doomed the fig-tree to destruction, continued his journey to the city, where, when he arrived, he went straightway to the temple, and drove the buyers and sellers out of it, &c., and would not suffer any vessel to be carried through the sacred edifice. See the note on Matthew 21:12-14. Such strong notions had our Lord of even relative holiness, and of the regard due to those places, as well as times, that are peculiarly dedicated... read more

Mark 11:18-19. The scribes, &c., sought how they might destroy him They had heard the rebuke which he had given them for allowing the temple to be profaned, and they had heard likewise the application which he had made of a passage in the eighth Psalm to the case of the children in the temple, wishing him all manner of prosperity; and these things, with the authority which he assumed, galled and exasperated them greatly. They were, however, afraid to take him by violence, or to attempt... read more
