“And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.”
His disciples remembered that it is written: 'Zeal for your house will consume me' — the disciples' citation of Psalm 69:9 interprets Jesus' action as prophetic fulfillment. The shift to first-person in the Psalm ("consume me") applies prophetic passion to Jesus, foreshadowing his consuming suffering. The disciples' later remembrance of Scripture suggests that understanding develops retrospectively, often through Resurrection illumination.
