The synoptic gospels all place this incident at the end of the gospel, where it was the catalyst for the arrest of Jesus. The earliest synoptic gospel, from which the others were substantially copied, is Mark's Gospel, which emphasised that Jesus sought to remain anonymous and even commanded many of those whom he cured to tell no one. So, the Cleansing of the Temple was also important in bringing Jesus to the attention of authorities.
John's Gospel, on the other hand, has the same incident at the beginning of the gospel. In this gospel, Jesus did not make any effort to hide his true nature, on the contrary making every effort to proclaim his mission. It was consistent with this theme that he would declare his interest in the Temple of his Father as soon as possible. As opposed to the synoptics, the Cleansing of the Temple was not needed in order to bring Jesus to the attention of the high priest. In John chapter 12, the people of Jerusalem began to follow Jesus because of the resurrection of Lazarus, with the anxious Pharisees fearing for their power over the Jews and saying among themselves, "Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? Behold the world is gone after him." For John, this was a much more powerful catalyst for the arrest of Jesus than the incident in the Temple.
The incident at the Temple is given different placements in the Gospels because each Gospel writer had a different purpose and audience. They may have placed the event in a different order to emphasize different themes or teachings about Jesus. It does not necessarily mean the events occurred in a different sequence in reality.
In the Bible, the incident involving Jesus overturning the tables of the money changers in the temple is found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John. It is a symbolic act of cleansing and condemnation of the corruption and exploitation that had entered the temple. Jesus's actions demonstrated his opposition to the commercialization of religious practices and his desire for true worship.
Places of worship can be called by various names depending on the religion, such as church (Christianity), synagogue (Judaism), mosque (Islam), temple (Hinduism), gurdwara (Sikhism), shrine (Buddhism), and pagoda (Buddhism).
The character who brought gold and silver goblets from the temple in Jerusalem was Belshazzar, the Babylonian king mentioned in the Book of Daniel. He used these sacred vessels during a feast, which led to the infamous "writing on the wall" incident foretelling his downfall.
This question makes no sense. What point of which temple? There are many temples, for different religions, most have a point in their construction somewhere, usually at a corner or the top.Or, if you're asking what is the purpose of a temple - it is for those who wish to to come together in a specific place to pray.
Jesus was found in the temple in Jerusalem, known as the Temple of Jerusalem or the Temple of Solomon.
John's Gospel has Jesus clearing the Temple of money-changers at the beginning of the mission of Jesus, some three years befor the crucifixion. In this gospel, Jesus did not make any effort to hide his true nature, as he does in the other gospels, on the contrary making every effort to proclaim his mission. It was consistent with this theme that he would declare his interest in the Temple of his Father as soon as possible. The synoptic gospels all place this incident at the end of the mission of Jesus, as the catalyst for the arrest of Jesus. This appears to have taken place in the synoptic gospels on the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem, commemorated today as Palm Sunday.
Remarkably, the story of Jesus' cleansing the Temple is found in all four Gospels: Matthew 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-19; Luke 19:45-46; and John 2:13-17. Also remarkable is that in John's Gospel, this event occurs early in Jesus' ministry, unlike in the other Gospels. Luke doesn't mention any animals, only "those who were selling things." Matthew and Mark mention doves; John adds cattle and sheep. Although the Bible is full of conflicting material, this strikes me as an innocent discrepancy. It's also possible that John's account refers to a separate incident.
A:The Cleansing of the Temple was important in the synoptic gospels because in these gospels it was the trigger for the arrest of Jesus. The author of John's Gospel chose to make the resurrection of Lazarus the trigger for the arrest of Jesus and so moved the Cleansing of the Temple to the very beginning of the mission of Jesus, as a relatively unimportant episode.
The incident that infuriates the Indian populace is when Fleete is refusing to enter the temple and decides to spark fighting. This happens in the book, "The Mark of the Beast."
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.
The fall of the Temple is prophesied by Jesus and recorded in the Gospel writings. None of the Gospels or Acts record the actual destruction of the Temple by the Romans which subsequently occurred in 70AD. Obviously, the writers would have recorded this significant fulfilment of prophecy if it had occured prior to the writings of the Gospels. This establishes the dating of the Gospels as prior to 70AD. This is within the lifetime of the eyewitnesses to the events of Jesus' life. Those who do not believe predictive prophecy is possible are therefore forced to date the Gospels later, since they cannot imagine that Jesus could possibly have been right and foretold the event.This raises the prospect that Jesus was truly God, not merely man, and that the Gospels are historic documents in their own right. The teachings of salvation and Christ's resurrection are something to take seriously, rather than dismissing them.
AnswerThe Gospels of Matthew and Luke contain two different versions of the story of the birth of Jesus and his infancy. Luke contains a story of the boy Jesus in the Temple, confounding the doctors of the Temple with his understanding. The Temple story closely parallels a story that the Jeiwsh historian, Josephus, wrote about himself, but may simply have been a common exaggeration told by many first century Jewish parents.
They are dedicated to different deities... Obviously.
The one incident in Jesus childhood was when he gets lost in the crowd and is found after three days in the temple.

No, both are different and situated at different places. Konark Sun Temple is the chariot shaped temple of lord Sun and one of the heritage of the world. Jagannath Temple is one among the 4 Religious Places (Dham) of Hindu. It has Lord Jagannath as its principal God
In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus overturned the tables and drove the moneychangers from the Temple just before his arrest and trial - in fact this was the final trigger for his arrest. In John, Jesus overturned the tables and drove the moneychangers from the Temple right at the beginning of his three-year minnistry. In all cases, the cleansing of the Temple only occurred once.
