The Cleansing of the Temple

Early (2nd Chapter) of John
Later in Matthew Mark and Luke (during Jesus visit to Jerusalem, during Holy Week)
Boivin holily about the history of Pilgrimage to Jerusalem of 19 year old male jews on “some” religious holiday “Yom Kipper?”
They traveled some distance and were required to convert their local currencies at the temple to the proper currency
AND the Money Changers extracted a sizeable premium (same with purchasing the approved sacrificial animals)
But I picked up on the pilgrimage
A Pilgrimage involves Walking (Praying with your Feet)

The History of the Temple, how it is so Holy
but also how it has become a Market Place
(asking us to consider if we are holy and if we have become Market Places)
