A:All the gospels agree that Jesus cleansed the Temple, overturning the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those who sold doves, because they had made the house of his father a den of thieves. The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) place this event at the very end of his ministry as the trigger for the arrrest of Jesus. John's Gospel uses the miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus as the trigger for the arrest of Jesus, and so moves the cleansing of the Temple to the beginning of the mission of Jesus.
