Essenes Gospel and its falsification Dez 18

to destroy him. 48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for
all the people hung on to every word that he said. Luk 19,45-
48 23
The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. He found in the temple those who sold oxen,
sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. He
made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple,
both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’
money and overthrew their tables. To those who sold
the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t
make my Father’s house a marketplace!” His disciples
remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will
eat me up.” Jhn 2,13-17 24
The meaning of "temple destruction", metaphorically portraying
the illness and death of men, was transformed by the
falsifiers into the preaching of Jesus, foreseeing the destruction
of Jerusalem, because his people did not believe in him.
It was a testimony of Jesus, which can be seen as a warning
and even as an endorsement of the catastrophe. It is interesting
that the saying "stone by stone", which the Essene Baptist
refers to in the sense of the patient building of a metaphorical
holy temple, i.e. the “temple” construction, was
construed by the falsifiers in connection with the actual temple
destruction in Jerusalem.
In the Pauline letters, Paul designates himself as the “good
builder” who laid the foundation, and thus automatically
becomes analogous to God.
So much to the term "temple".
