  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.

      He’s mad that people are selling stuff in the temple when it should be holy (and commercial activity is NOT holy)

        It wasn’t just commercial activity. Money changers were charging a fee to buy shekels which people could use to buy an animal to sacrifice at the temple. Jesus was mad because the idea of inserting yourself as a middleman to extort money from people seeking salvation was basically blasphemy.

  One of the few things that winds up being included in all four gospels.

    One of the interesting things I’ve found while reading through is that while there’s a lot of minor sins mentioned once each in the old testament (like mixed fiber clothing) the one commandment that is mentioned more than any other, like almost word for word with every repeat is keeping the Sabbath. And many of those repeat mentions also specify that it applies to your workers / servants as well. Even if they’re not also Jewish, it’s a sin for you as the Jewish person to not give them their rest day. Idk I just found that super interesting especially in this modern context of modern US Christianity flavored capitalism.

    The version in John is the best, though
