“Conflict in the Temple”

John 2:13-16
It was almost time for the Jewish Passover. So Jesus went to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, Jesus went to the temple. In the temple area, Jesus saw men selling cattle, sheep, and doves. Jesus saw other men sitting at tables. These men were exchanging and trading people’s money. Jesus made a whip with some pieces of rope. Then Jesus forced all these men and the sheep and cattle to leave the temple area. Jesus turned over the tables and scattered the money of the men who exchanged money. Then Jesus said to the men who were selling pigeons, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a place for buying and selling!
