John 2:17 quotes Ps 68:10: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” Interpreters disagree about whether consume portrays Jesus’s zeal overwhelming him during the temple incident or leading to his death. They also disagree about whether John alludes metaleptically to the whole psalm, especially the rebuilding of Jerusalem in Ps 68:36–37. This article argues that consume portrays Jesus’s death. It substantiates that John alludes to the whole psalm, not only the rebuilding of Jerusalem in 68:36–37, but also the table becoming a trap and the pouring out of wrath in 68:23, 25. These echoes suggest that Jesus embodies the judgment of God in the temple incident, the suffering of the psalmist in his death, and the restoration of Jerusalem in his resurrection. The story from the Psalter is thus reconfigured in the temple incident: God rebuilds the forsaken city by identifying with Israel’s exile in the crucified body of Jesus.

约翰福音2:17引用了诗篇68:10：“为你的屋子盖章要消耗我。” 口译员对于在圣殿事件期间消费是否描绘了耶稣的热情压倒了他或导致他的死亡，持有不同意见。他们也不同意约翰是否在整个诗篇中都具有讽刺意味，特别是在诗篇68：36-37中对耶路撒冷的重建。本文认为消费描绘了耶稣的死。它表明约翰暗示了整个诗篇，不仅在68：36-37中重建了耶路撒冷，而且在68:23，25中桌子变成了陷阱并从愤怒中倒出。这些回声表明，耶稣体现了耶稣的圣体。上帝在圣殿事件中的审判，诗篇主义者死后的苦难以及耶路撒冷在他的复活中的恢复。诗篇中的故事因此在圣殿事件中得到了重新构造：神通过认同被钉在十字架上的耶稣耶稣中的以色列人的流放，重建了被遗弃的城市。
