==2:13-17	Is this the same scourging in the temple as recorded in the other gospels?==

No! There are three separate and distinct scourgings in the temple recorded in scripture. This is the first, and it is mentioned only in John's gospel. 

This took place within a week or so of Jesus commencing His earthly ministry, a few days after the wedding at Cana where Jesus performed His first miracle - turning water into wine. The wedding at Cana took place three days after Jesus commenced His earthly ministry (CPV1, 12-13). 

The second scourging in the temple took place when Jesus went up to Jerusalem from Jericho the day after He went to Zaccheus' house (CP Mt 21:1-16; Lu 19:1-11, 28, 41-46). 

After the second scourging in the temple Jesus went to Bethany and lodged with Lazarus, who He had raised up from the dead, and Martha and Mary, his sisters. This was six days before Jesus was betrayed (CP Mt 21:17; Mk 11:11; Jn 12:1-2). 

The third scourging in the temple took place when Jesus went into Jerusalem from Bethany the very next day (CP Mk 11:12-16).
