This long-time practice of the Jews, for the forgiveness of sins (both intentional and unintentional, both known and unknown) parallels the forgiveness of sins that Jesus performed: in limited scope by His words and then unlimited in scope by His death on the cross.
What is animal sacrifice?

Nicholas P. Lunn speaks of this as an authoritative and holy vessel to which great power and respect are ascribed. This and Jesus' resurrected body were both not to be touched. The power of life, represented by the flake of manna inside, and death, represented by the prohibition of being touched, is present in this as it is in Jesus' power over them.
What is the Ark of the Covenant?

In His outrage He gathered some cords to make this and then used it to drive out the offending parties. This event satisfied Jesus’ need to clear the offensive elements from the holy place in which they did not belong.
What is a whip?

This idea, according to Keener, is presented by Jesus in John 2:13-23. Jesus places more importance on it than the festival of Passover and, Keener believes, it is the beginning of the emphasis on the cross in John's Gospel.
What is the new temple?

The Father has handed all of this over to the Son, Jesus. Jesus acts with authority, not His own but the authority of the Father who sent Him. Jesus explains, in John 5:19-23, that all that He does He does because He sees His Father doing the same.
What is judgment?
200
According to John, Jesus was this to the world just as the Jews were this to the Gentiles and the temple was this to the Jews. This is a frequent theme throughout John that could be applied to the tabernacle as well as the temple.
What is Light?

David Peterson tells us that in the Hebrew canon, one can find this descending upon the most holy place as a 'cloud.' This 'cloud' forced the priests out of the holy place. Jesus recieves this in the form of a dove after His baptism by John the Baptist.
What is the presence of God or the Holy Spirit?

The money changers and merchants scene in the temple has been used both as justification for and refutation of the Christian community's right for this in various situations and even in some extremes, all situations. That this occurs in the temple, some believe, justifies exactly such extreme interpretation of the applicability of this passage.
What is Christian violence?

The center of worship in Jerusalem may not have been familiar to the youngest of the audience to which the Fourth Gospel was written, according to keener; but, these were familiar throughout the Greco-Roman and would have been a point of reference to which John could have expected his entire audience to be familiar.
What are temples?
200
The Pharisees reveal their identity as this in John 7:14-23 when they accuse Jesus of breaking the Law of Moses by healing a man on the Sabbath while they themselves violate the Law by intentionally plotting to break the sixth commandment of the very same Law. Jesus reveals this with a reminder that circumcisions are performed on the Sabbath.
What is a hypocrite?
300
This man is freed instead of Jesus in John 18:40. The event parallels the rejection of the temple by Israel in the divided kingdom and the selection of an inferior substitute. It also parallels the entire Jewish people rejecting God's temple by accepting other gods into their lives.
Who is Barabbas?
300
C. H. Dodd equates Jesus with this through a reference to Him as the Word. This is interchangeable with the presence of God and is the God's guide to the people that shines, figuratively, forth from the temple. It is clearly not John's view, however, that this still is adequately represented through the teachings coming out of the temple.

One scholar's rendering indicates that this was directed at the people and that the incident can be used to confirm the divine nature of Christ by underscoring His dominion over those who would be able to overpower any normal man.
What is whipped in the temple?

This is the where Jesus' claim to be the base of the future temple. He diminishes the value of the physical temple to pave the way for His primary mission: preparing people to receive the Holy Spirit for all who believe.
What is John 7:37-39?
300
Jesus names John the Baptist in verses 33 through 35, His own works in verse 36, His Father in verses 37 and 38, and the Scriptures in verses 39 through 47. This is twice as many as are required by Jewish law.
What are the four witnesses Jesus names in John 5?

In order to be allowed to come into this, Sylvain Romerowski explains that burnt, cereal, peace, sin, and guilt offerings were the five tpes of offerings available to the Israelites.
What is God's presence?

This describes the mention of the cattle, sheep, doves, and whip as representative of other things; the whip as logos by which evil is cast out, the cattle as earthly things, the sheep as the irrationality of man, and doves as vanity. This helps some scholars avoid accepting that Jesus may have been acting in a violent manner in the scene where he drives out the money changers and merchants.
What is Symbolism?
400
This is where the future temple flows out of; the incorporation of the Holy Spirit after the resurrection applies the payment for making us right before God. John 2:19-21 refers to the crucifixion, resurrection and conquering of death.
What is His body?

The heart of the matter in John 8:12-20, according to N.T. Wright, is, "they had forgotten who their God really was. Their behavior, their attitudes, and their ambitions indicated that they didn't know the one Jesus called Father, and that is why they couldn't recognize Him as having come from this one true God."
What is the failure of the Pharisees?
