2 | Temple | John | Rowdy | 119649 | ||
Cited for reference: John 2:15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business." 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME." Apparently from verse 16, Jesus was disgusted with the idea of conducting business inside His Father's temple. BUT I've heard that the money changers were also taking advantage of the people, especially the poor in that they were overcharging for the items being sacrifice and making huge sums of profit. I don't know that to be supported by the Bible but seems like I've heard it from Jewish history. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
