1). The jealousy that Christ Jesus had for his Father’s house fueled him to make a small whip and run out the Temple the money changers, these were the people who exchanged foreign money into temple money so they could buy animals for sacrifice. There were also those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves (three different economic classes, rich, middle class and poor), and he ran them all out of the temple. The animals were probably smelling up His father’s house. It was a very dishonorable thing. As he was doing it he said: “And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise John 2:16.This was the first time jesus did this, he also did it later in his ministry during the last week of his earthly life (Mark 11:15-17). Both instances were during Passover (John 2:13; Mark 14:1).
