Jesu Stellung zum Tempel

Jesu Stellung zum Tempel
Die Tempelaktion und das Tempelwort als Ausdruck seiner
messianischen Sendung
[ Jesus' Attitude towards the Temple. The Act in the Temple and the Temple Logion as an
Expression of His Messianic Mission. By Jostein Ådna.]
Published in German.
Jostein Ådna analyzes Jesus' temple logion and his act in the temple and concludes in favor of
their authenticity and historicity. The logion expresses his messianic claim to renew the temple
on Zion for the imminent Kingdom of God. The act is a conspicuous challenge to the priesthood
and Jesus' last call to repentance; they cannot continue to carry out the atonement cult without
acquiescing to his message. By choosing as targets the money changers and the dove sellers,
Jesus gave his act an implicit symbolic meaning that would come to bear if the priesthoold and
the people were to react negatively to this nal call to repentance. An interruption of the dove
sellers' and money changers' activities had implications for the sacri cial cult itself. In
accordance with Jesus' authentic utterances about the theological meaning of his death in the
ransom saying and in the words of administration at the last Passover meal, his act in the
temple carried the implicit symbolic meaning that Jesus in his violent death replaced the
temple tax and cult as the ultimate ransom and atonement sacri ce for Israel.
