According to the gospels, Jesus entered the Temple and overturned the tables of themoneychangers and the seats of those who sold doves for sacrifice. He made a scourge and used it to drive the moneychangers out of the Temple. In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) this event created the reason for the religious authorities to arrest Jesus. In John, this event was moved to the beginning of the mission of Jesus and was instead the opportunity for Jesus to announce to the religious authorities the challenge to their authority that would be his mission.
