Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables. So he took some rope and made a whip. Then he chased everyone out of the temple, together with their sheep and cattle. He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins. Jesus said to the people who had been selling doves, “Get those doves out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace.” (John 2:13-16)
The heavens keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies declare what he has done. […] They don’t speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world. (Psalm 19:1,3-4) Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem.
