I'm assuming you're speaking of the incident that is called the "cleansing of the temple"? Jesus did this because the area where the merchants set up was the court of the Gentiles. This was as far as a non-Jew could go in the temple. This was to be the place of prayer for all nations. Instead, it had been turned into a market.
