His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
In context
15He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple, sheep and oxen alike; he scattered the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16To the dove-sellers he said, “Get these out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace.” 17His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” 18At this the Jews responded, “What sign can you show us for doing these things?” 19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
