How did Jesus demonstrate His authority in the temple?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demonstrated His authority by cleansing the temple of corrupt practices with righteous anger.

In John 2:15-16, Jesus displays His authority by fashioning a whip and driving out the merchants and money changers who had turned the temple into a den of thieves. This act was not just a display of anger; it was a clear message about the holiness of God’s house and the seriousness of corrupt worship. Jesus's relentless zeal for His Father's house reflected His deep commitment to God's glory and righteousness, emphasizing that worship should be sincere, not commercialized or transactional.
