During The Jewish Passover festival in Jerusalem, Jesus goes to the Temple and finds that the temple courts have been turned into a marketplace. Out of anger because of the desecration of the sacred place, Jesus drove out the sellers out of the temple—including the animals that were for sale! And because of this incident, Jesus foreshadows His death and resurrection as the Jewish leaders asked Him to justify why He did what He did.

But in the heart of this scripture emphasizes Jesus' zeal in giving importance to the purity and sanctity of worship spaces, for genuine worship.
