Herod the Great built the temple where Jesus threw out the money-changers.
Jesus then clensed the temple of the animals and turned the table of the money changers.
The answer is found in Luke 19:28-48. This includes Jesus cleansing temple of the money changers.
A:In the gospels, Jesus could be both irrational and angry. For example, Mark 11:13-15 tells of Jesus cursing a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season. Most famously, Jesus angrily overturned the tables of the monechangers in the Temple, even though they were performing a necessary duty sanctioned by the Temple priests.
In the Bible, the incident involving Jesus overturning the tables of the money changers in the temple is found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John. It is a symbolic act of cleansing and condemnation of the corruption and exploitation that had entered the temple. Jesus's actions demonstrated his opposition to the commercialization of religious practices and his desire for true worship.
Jesus Answer: Actually they were merchants and money changers. Overt thieves generally don't set up shops in temples.
(Matthew 21:12) . . .And Jesus entered into the temple and threw out all those selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.(Mark 11:15) . . .Now they came to Jerusalem. There he entered into the temple and started to throw out those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves;(John 2:13-16) . . .Now the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And he found in the temple those selling cattle and sheep and doves and the money brokers in their seats. So, after making a whip of ropes, he drove all those with the sheep and cattle out of the temple, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. And he said to those selling the doves: "Take these things away from here! Stop making the house of my Father a house of merchandise!"NWT
AnswerThe moneychangers were performing a sacred duty in the sacred Temple environment and would normally not have needed any protection. If they did need bodyguards, the Temple priests would have been available.
I do not remember these words, but it was said of Jesus, after he had driven the money changers from the temple: The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. (John 2.17)
(Matthew 21:12-13)(Mark 11:15-17)(John 2:13-17)
The story of Jesus overturning the tables of the money changers is found in the New Testament books of Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:15-17, and Luke 19:45-46. In these passages, Jesus cleanses the temple in Jerusalem, driving out those who were buying and selling in the temple courts.
Jesus was faced with difficult situations on several occasions. Some examples: The temptations in the desert, facing the money changers on the temple grounds, his capture in the garden, confrontations with the pharisees and saduccees, his beating and crucifixion.
I believe you are referring to the time when Jesus overturned the tables of the money-changers and vendors in the temple in Jerusalem in Matthew 21:12-13. He said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a robber's den."
