And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
Entonces Jesús hizo un látigo con cuerdas y echó a todos del templo: a la gente, las ovejas, el ganado, todo. Volcó las mesas de los cambistas y esparció sus monedas por todas partes.
Jesús limpió el templo con autoridad, echando a todos los comerciantes y sus animales.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, the Jerusalem Temple was the center of Jewish worship, but during festivals like Passover, it became crowded with merchants selling animals for sacrifices and money changers exchanging currency for temple taxes. Jesus' actions in John 2:15 occurred at the beginning of his ministry, demonstrating his authority over religious practices and his disapproval of the commercialization that defiled God's house. This event reflects the broader cultural tension in ancient Judaism between maintaining sacred purity and the everyday economic realities of temple operations.
