How do we know Jesus is God from the cleansing of the temple?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' claim of authority in cleansing the temple affirms His divine identity as the Son of God.

While cleansing the temple, Jesus referred to it as 'My Father's house,' indicating His unique relationship with God and asserting His divinity (John 2:16). This act of cleansing served as a declaration of His authority over the temple, which was the dwelling place of God's presence on earth. Additionally, His foretelling of His resurrection in three days (John 2:19) further confirms His divine nature, as no mere human could raise himself from the dead. The disciples later recognized this truth, understanding His actions as a revelation of His divine identity and mission.
