Jesus cleanses the temple

This site could not be more holy to Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Bahai faithful. Some day it is the very first rock in the world's creation AND where Almighty God first breathed life into Adam. Muslims and Bahai believe it's where Muhammed received his inspiration. Jews and Christians say the Ark of the Covenant rested here. Only a few feet away, St. Peter offered Christianity's first altar call and 3,000 converts had church for the first time on the Day of Pentecost, 33 A.D.

"When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables." (John 2:13-15 NIV) What does this mean for us today? Why did Jesus drive them out?
