Johnson - The Messiah's Year of Obscurity) Jesus may have been "obscure" but He was not inactive! We see this period described by John from about John 1:19+ through John 4:44, 45+. It is also known as the Early Judean ministry for most of the events occurred in Judea the province in which Jerusalem is located (See map). Note however that some of the events in John 1:19-4:54 took place in Samaria and even Galilee.

Johnson - The Messiah's Year of Obscurity) It is certainly not impossible that John took one isolated episode from the conclusion of Jesus' earthly ministry and inserted it into his own narrative in a place which seemed appropriate according to his purposes. But in view of the differences between John and the synoptics, in both wording and content, as well as setting and time, it is at least possible that the event in question actually occurred twice (unless one begins with the presupposition that the Fourth Gospel is nonhistorical anyway). In support of two separate cleansings of the temple, it has been suggested that Jesus' actions on this occasion were not permanent in their result, and after (probably) 3 years the status quo in the temple courts had returned to normal. And at this time early in Jesus' ministry, he was virtually unknown. Such an action as he took on this occasion would have created a stir, and evoked the response John records in Jn 2:18–22, but that is probably about all, especially if Jesus' actions met with approval among part of the populace ("many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing." = Jn 2:23). But later in Jesus' ministry, when he was well-known, and vigorously opposed by the high-priestly party in Jerusalem, his actions might have brought forth another, harsher response. It thus appears possible to argue for two separate cleansings of the temple as well as a single one relocated by John to suit his own purposes. Which then is more probable? On the whole, more has been made of the differences between John's account and the synoptic accounts than perhaps should have been. After all, the synoptic accounts also differ considerably from one another, yet few scholars would be willing to posit four cleansings of the temple as an explanation for this. While it is certainly possible that the author did not intend by his positioning of the temple cleansing to correct the synoptics' timing of the event, but to highlight its significance for the course of Jesus' ministry, it still appears somewhat more probable that John has placed the event he records in the approximate period of Jesus' public ministry in which it did occur, that is, within the first year or so of Jesus' public ministry. The statement of the Jewish authorities recorded by the author (this temple has been under construction for forty-six years) would tend to support an earlier rather than a later date for the temple cleansing described by John, since 46 years from the beginning of construction on Herod's temple in ca. 19 B.C. (the date varies somewhat in different sources) would be around A.D. 27. Bruce Barton - WHY DO YOU GO TO CHURCH? Too many churches today do everything they can to make the time of worship convenient for people. And some people attend church because they see it as a place for personal contacts or business advantage. But worshiping God is not always convenient; it demands true devotion and self-sacrifice. Nor is it for our own earthly advancement. Our focus should be on God alone. We are to worship sincerely, reverently, and humbly. That is not to say we cannot be excited, even zealous, about God. But we are always to worship with reverence—recognizing and remembering who God is. Many radio and television ministries have become little more than marketplaces for religion. Some of these programs spend a great deal of air time discussing premiums and offers we can receive by sending in a donation that will be used to continue and increase programming so that more people can be contacted to send more money. Jesus would not condemn all fund-raising; but when “worship” services are broadcast for no apparent reason other than to raise money, we should be suspect. Check with your church leaders to make sure the ministry you would like to support has validity.

And He made a scourge of cords (KJV = "a scourge of small cords") - The cords used by Jesus to make the scourge (picture of a scourge) could have been from rope. This is a clear example of righteous anger manifest by the Righteous One (Isa 53:11+) Himself. Jesus' anger reminds us of Paul's three commands to the Ephesian saints "BE ANGRY (present imperative), AND yet DO NOT SIN;(present imperative with a negative) do not let the sun go down (present imperative with a negative) on your anger." (Eph. 4:26+). NET Notehas an interesting note on scourge of cords - Several witnesses, two of which are quite ancient (î(66, 75 )L N ¦(1 33 565 892 1241 al lat), have w`j (hos, "like") before fragellion (phragellion, "whip"). A decision based on external evidence would be difficult to make because the shorter reading also has excellent witnesses, as well as the majority, on its side (a A B Q Y ¦(13 )Û co). Internal evidence, though, leans toward the shorter reading. Scribes tended to add to the text, and the addition clearly softens the assertion of the evangelist: Instead of making a whip of cords, Jesus made "[something] like a whip of cords." Scourge (hapax legomenon)(5416)(phagellion) is a Latin loan word from flagellum, an instrument that when used by the Romans consisted of a thong frequent with metal tips to increase the severity of the punishment (Jesus' scourge surely did not have this latter composition!). Wikipedia - "A scourge (Latin: flagrum; diminutive: flagellum) typically consists of several thongs fastened to a handle. A well known configuration of a scourge is the cat o' nine tails. The cat o' nine tails has two versions: the navy version is made of thick ropes with knotted ends, the army and civil prison versions are usually made of leather." Cords (4979)(schoinion from schoinos = bulrush) means a rope or cord "made of (the fibers from) rushes (grasslike plants of the genus Juncus, having stiff hollow or pithy stems)." (Friberg) Here it refers to the composition of the scourge and in the only other NT use in Acts 27:32 it refers to the ropes that hold a ship’s boat in place.
