A:Luke 2:24 tells of Joseph and Mary offering a sacrifice in the temple, for the birth of Jesus: "And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."

Much of the theology in Luke was concerned with the poor, with even its beatitudes differing from those of Matthew by their emphasis on the poor. Now, Jews were expected to sacrifice a lamb in thanks for the birth of a boy unless they were very poor, in which case they offered a pair of pigeons as a sacrifice. Luke is emphasising that Jesus came from a poor background.

In Luke's theology, the story of Jesus being presented at the temple and the offering of the sacrifice emphasizes Jesus' fulfillment of the Jewish law and his role as the ultimate sacrifice for humanity. It highlights the importance of Jesus as the new covenant and connects with Luke's emphasis on the universality of Jesus' message and the inclusion of all people in God's salvation.

Where did Jesus clean the temple?

A:The 'Cleansing of the Temple' scene occurs right at the end of the synoptic gospels, as the trigger for the arrest of Jesus, but right at the beginning of John's Gospel. In this scene, Jesus cast out those who sold animals and overturned the tables of the moneychangers and of them that sold pigeons. For Second Temple Judaism, practised at the time of Jesus, worship of God required the sacrifice of an animal proportionate to the wealth of the supplicant and the purpose of the worship. Purchase at the Temple assured the faithful that animals were sound and healthy, as required for sacrifice to God. Purchases had to be made at a standard price, but the local currency was likely to devalue due to changes in metal content, so that a fixed price was not possible. The solution was to have moneychangers, who sold Syrian coins of fixed value, which were then used to purchase the sacrifice. All this took place in the outer courtyard of the Temple, as sanctioned by the priesthood.By the time the first gospel was written, the Temple was destroyed by the Romans, which meant that it was no longer possible to sacrifice at the Temple. Jews had to adopt new forms of worship, and perhaps the gospel author could preempt this disaster by reporting Jesus' displeasure at the sale of sacrificial animals, creating the 'Cleansing of the Temple'.

What gospel is Jesus a shepherd in?

In a number of New Testament writing, more importantly, Jesus Christ is referred to as the "Lamb of God". In order to understand this term, it is important to understand the role of the Jewish Temple sacrifice of lambs. Since Jesus was prepared to sacrifice himself on the Cross (according to Christian theology and eschatology), he was termed the "Lamb of God".Another answer:You're probably thinking of the Gospel of John; the only one that records teachings such as John 10:11 - "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep." [NKJV]

What violence did Jesus commit in the temple?

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.
