Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 2:14-17.


John 2:15

_ _ small cords — likely some of the rushes spread for bedding, and when twisted used to tie up the cattle there collected. “Not by this slender whip but by divine majesty was the ejection accomplished, the whip being but a sign of the scourge of divine anger” [Grotius].

_ _ poured out ... overthrew — thus expressing the mingled indignation and authority of the impulse.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 2:12-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 2:15

Having made a scourge of rushes — (Which were strewed on the ground,) he drove all out of the temple, (that is, the court of it,) both the sheep and the oxen — Though it does not appear that he struck even them; and much less, any of the men. But a terror from God, it is evident, fell upon them.
