- Jesus Cleanses the Temple of the Moneychangers
A memorable event happens when Jesus arrives at the Temple in Jerusalem. In classic art, the event is known as Jesus Cleansing the Temple of the Moneychangers:
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” (John 2:13-16)
Jesus cleanses the temple of the moneychangers and sellers of merchandise because of his disgust at what they had made of God’s house of prayer. Judaea was under the rule of the Romans, and the money in current use was Roman coinage. However, the Jewish law required that every man should pay a tribute to the service of the sanctuary of “half a shekel” -- a Jewish coin. Therefore, it became a matter of convenience to have a place where Roman coins could be exchanged for Jewish half shekels. The moneychangers provided this convenience, but, of course, required a small fee for the exchange. Because so many thousands came up for the great feasts in Jerusalem, changing money was a very profitable business -- one that resulted in fraud and oppression of the poor.
Jesus was shocked. He was passionate for the purity of the Jewish Temple -- his Father’s house. He witnessed the priestly aristocracy that profited from the Temple. He walked among the sanctioned sellers who preyed on the poor. Jesus was enraged -- filled with what we call, “righteous indignation.” Simply, he took a bullwhip out on the unholy business of “organized religion” that had defiled the Temple grounds. In a nutshell, Jesus cleaned house, cleansing the Temple of the moneychangers.
Reminds me of so many false preachers and TV evangelists of today. Have these greedy people never read the bible?
Paul warns us about them, false teachers they are
This is exactly what's happening today. If you call it out, they call you an anti-semite. That sounds familiar?
Exactly!
Kanye is right….
A Righteous Riot!!! Way to go Jesus!!
Old Conservative Grandmas: Be like Jesus!
Grandchildren who can read the Bible: 😏😏😏

THESE DAYS WE HATE THOSE WHO MISLEADING PEOPLE ABOUT REAL GOD AND TELLING LIES ABOUT GOD.
JESUS SHOWED THE REAL CHARACTER OF A MAN MUST BEFORE HIS REAL GOD
THANK YOU YESHUA
FOR SHOWING US HOW TO ACT JUSTLY TO THOSE WHO OPPRESSED AND ABUSED
SPEAK WHEN ITS TIME TO SPEAK.
how can the poor and desperate buy cattle?
Awesome
Yesus NEVER used riddles(KJV). He used parables. Parable and riddle are not synonyms. Study to be approved.
Jesus smoked too much weed. That's why he was talking crazy all the time.

Nothing's changed
The temple was never on that rock it was in the City of David.
this is to tell us we dont have to tithe.....
Jesus got on em for treating the temple like a pawn shop beating people out of their stuff for probably Fiat money ...
Doesn’t mean you can’t sell things out the church. Just mean it’s a way you should do it correctly
The sellers were “preying” on the poor.. maybe they should’ve prayed for them…?
STOP LYING!! wrong JESUS BUDDY! Jesus is a black man.
Revelation 1:14-15 offers a clue that Jesus's skin was a darker hue and that his hair was woolly in texture. The hairs of his head, it says, "were white as white wool, white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace.”
FIX IT OR ELSE THE MOST YAH Yahahwah and his son Yahahwashi well tell you "Get away from me, I never knew you!"
Tjhis is not a game. Your soul is a stake.
