📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context, Jesus entered the Temple in Jerusalem during His final week before crucifixion, where He witnessed merchants and money changers turning the sacred space into a bustling marketplace. He quoted from Old Testament prophets, such as Isaiah 56:7 and Jeremiah 7:11, to emphasize that the Temple was meant to be a house of prayer for all nations, not a place of exploitation. This event highlighted the religious corruption of the time, where practices intended for worship had been commercialized, provoking Jesus' strong rebuke.
