When the Jewish Passover was near The Jewish Passover is one of the most significant feasts in the Jewish calendar, commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt as described in Exodus 12. It is a time of remembrance and celebration, marked by the sacrifice of a lamb and the eating of unleavened bread. The Passover is a type of Christ, who is referred to as the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29), symbolizing His sacrificial death for the redemption of humanity. The timing of this event is significant, as it sets the stage for Jesus' later crucifixion, which occurs during Passover, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and typology.

As Christians, we can see Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb, offering ultimate redemption. Jesus' Commitment to Worship Jesus' journey to Jerusalem for Passover demonstrates His commitment to worship and obedience to God's commands. We are called to prioritize worship and obedience in our lives. The Importance of Jerusalem Jerusalem is not just a geographical location but a symbol of God's presence and His unfolding plan of salvation. We should seek to understand the spiritual significance of places and events in our faith journey. Zeal for God's House Jesus' actions in the temple show His zeal for pure worship. We should examine our own lives and communities to ensure that our worship is sincere and aligned with God's will.(13) And the Jews' passover was at hand.--Here, again, we are on common ground with the earlier Gospels. They place a cleansing of the Temple at the close of our Lord's ministry at the only Passover which comes within the scope of their narrative. The subject has been dealt with in Notes on Matthew 21:12 et seq. (Comp. also Introduction: The Chronological Harmony of the Gospels, p. 35) The careful reader will not fail to observe the graphic touches peculiar to this narrative--the money-changers sitting, the sacrificial animals, the making of the scourge, the money poured out, the order to remove the doves which could not be driven out. We feel all through in the presence of an eye-witness. It is worth remembering that on the eve of the Passover the head of every family carefully collected all the leaven in the house, and there was a general cleansing. He was doing in His Father's house, it may be, what was then being done in every house in Jerusalem. The remark will be seen to have an important bearing on the question of the repetition of the cleansing.
