Question 1 Report

Jesus above the money changers and sellers of doves out of the Temple because
Answer Details
Jesus drove out the money changers and sellers of doves out of the Temple because the people defiled it with dubious business. This means that the Temple, which was meant to be a sacred place of worship, had become a marketplace where people were conducting business transactions in a dishonest and unethical way. Jesus was angry because the people were treating the Temple with disrespect, and he wanted to restore its sanctity by removing the traders and money changers. It was not because there was no need for animal sacrifice anymore, because the Jewish law still required it. Nor was it because the people were disobedient to the Law, or that animals and birds were not allowed in it.
