Like they care what Jesus said or did.
That’s like saying the guillotine must not inconvenience the head of the rich
WHOSE property matters. Jesus busted up the property of the people causing the problem. Too often I see this as justification for burning cars in the street.
Did he do that?
You bet your ass he did.
When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
Supposedly he took hours to make the whip. Plenty of time to premeditate on that destruction.
That’s my favorite part. Spent the afternoon braiding a whip, probably mumbling to himself “Ohhh, these sons of bitches about to experience Wrath”
I guess I could read John to understand the context.
And then there’s that one time time Bostoners turned the Atlantic Ocean into a teapot.

“This is the most biblically accurate scene in the film. I know Jesus screamed at them in falsetto!”
He didn’t destroy the property, he just rearranged it.
No sweat, though. He promised to rebuild it in three days
Temples were also banks / fiscal offices in those days. The conflict is imagined, unless maybe early class analysis.
Yes that’s why Jesus got mad lol
Then stop making it a necessity, to redress grievances.
