¹² After this, he came down into Capernaum, - he, and his mother and brethren, and his disciples; and, there, they abode, not many days. ¹³ And, near, was the passover of the Jews; and, Jesus, went up unto Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting. ¹⁵ And, making a scourge out of rushes, all of them, thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and, the money-changers' small coins, poured he forth, and, the tables, he overturned; ¹⁶ and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said - Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise. ¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it was written - The zeal of thy house, eateth me up. ¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest? ¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said unto them - Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it. ²⁰ The Jews, therefore, said - In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it! ²¹ But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine of his body.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When therefore he was risen from the dead,.... Which was three years after this:

his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; either to the Jews, or to them the disciples; though the phrase "to them", is not in the Vulgate Latin, nor in any of the Oriental versions. The disciples themselves were very dull of understanding the doctrine of Christ's resurrection; and so they continued, notwithstanding he gave them afterwards very full hints of it, until that he was actually risen; and then they called to mind these words of his, with others that dropped from him upon the same subject:

and they believed the Scripture; that spoke of his resurrection,

Psalms 16:10, and on the third day, Hosea 6:2.

And the word which Jesus had said; concerning his rising again the third day at this time, and at others, as in Matthew 16:21; and they believed his word equally with the Scripture, it agreeing to it, and being founded on it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

When he was risen from the dead ... - This saying of our Saviour at that time seemed obscure and difficult. The disciples did not understand it, but they treasured it up in their memory, and the event showed what was its true meaning. Many prophecies are obscure when spoken which are perfectly plain when the event takes place. We learn from this, also, the importance of treasuring up the truths of the Bible now, though we may not perfectly understand them. Hereafter they may be plain to us. It is therefore important that “children,” should learn the truths of the sacred Scriptures. Treasured up in their memory, they may not be understood “now,” but hereafter they may be clear to them. Every one engaged in teaching a Sunday school, therefore, may be imparting instruction which may be understood, and may impart comfort, long after the teacher has gone to eternity.

They believed - That is, “after” he rose from the dead.

The scripture - The Old Testament, which predicted his resurrection. Reference here must be made to Psalms 16:10; compare Acts 2:27-32; Acts 13:35-37; Psalms 2:7; compare Acts 13:33. They understood those Scriptures in a sense different from what they did before.

The word which Jesus had said - The prediction which he had made respecting his resurrection in this place and on other occasions. See Matthew 20:19; Luke 18:32-33.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 2:22. Remembered that he had said this unto them — αυτοις, to them, is wanting in AEHLMS, Matt. BV, upwards of one hundred others; both the Syriac; Persic, Arabic, Coptic, AEthiopic, Armenian, Slavonic, Vulgate, and Itala. Griesbach has left it out of the text.

They believed the scripture — The scripture which the evangelist immediately refers to may have been Psalms 16:10. Compare this with Acts 2:31-32, and with Acts 13:35-37. See also Psalms 2:7, and compare it with Hebrews 1:5, and Hebrews 5:5, and with Acts 13:33. They understood these scriptures in a sense in which they never before understood them.

It is the property of many prophecies never to be understood except by their accomplishment; but these are so marked that, when their fulfilment takes place, they cannot be misunderstood, or applied to any other event.
