His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
Psalm 69:9 is a Messianic passage. The action of Jesus was not as a reformer but as the Messiah.
Psalms 69:9 for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
“remembered” = God’s Word explains God’s Works and God’s Works verify God’s Words. To remember something, we need to know it in the first place. It is very important to be in the Word, reading, studying, and memorizing it. If we don’t have God’s Word in us, we cannot use it to verify His deeds.
