Cleansing the Temple
On temple mount Jesus went to battle
with those who were selling sheep and cattle.
With corruption about,
he drove them all out –
the coins of dealers on stones did rattle.
Indignant the Jews asked for a sign.
“Destroy this temple and its holy shrine
and within three days
another I'll raise.”
His body upraised did confirm that sign.
John 2.13-22
