International Sunday School Lesson on Jesus Cleansing the Temple
J A Lapham discusses Jesus driving out money changers in the temple court, noting the temple’s proper use as a house of prayer. He cites Broadus and Hovey, contrasts the outer court with the inner, and warns against secular distractions in worship while stressing reverence, prayer, and the resurrection as the sign of authority.
