📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Jesus entered the temple in Jerusalem during His final week before crucifixion and was angered by the merchants and money changers who had turned the sacred space into a marketplace for selling animals and exchanging currency. He quoted from the prophet Isaiah, declaring that the temple should be a house of prayer for all nations, and from Jeremiah, condemning it as a den of thieves to highlight the exploitation and corruption. This event reflects the broader tension in first-century Judaism between genuine worship and the commercialization that had infiltrated religious practices.
