1093. Christ was persecuted for longing for the temple of God.

Jn 2:14-17, Rom 15:3

In the Old Testament, David was zealous for the house of God. Because of this, the enemies persecuted David. (Psalms 69:9)

Psalms 69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Jesus longed for the temple and drove out the people who traded in the temple. So Jesus suffered persecution from the Jews as prophesied in the Old Testament. (John 2:14-17, Romans 15:3)

John 2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. 17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

Romans 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
