Matthew 21:12, "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money chargers, and the seats of them that sold doves,"

Jesus was angry because the money collectors were cheating the public of money they couldn't afford. The collectors said they needed for the sacrificial animals and Jesus wanted to teach them that he was the ultimate sacrifice and there was no need to sacrifice anything else.
