Hello from MK
on Monday discussed today Matthew 21:12-17 - the expulsion of the Temple. I finally had an idea that expelled not so much the traders as the ratio of parishioners to the church and to God, which is described by the words "sale". God does give people the gift of wheat and milk, without asking for anything, and people, instead of too unselfish give Him your good habit of trying to pay: the sacrifice of goats, bulls, doves, etc.
second thought was that the expulsion of the merchants from the temple is metaphor for the expulsion of demons from a man. In many cultures, temples were built on the model of the human body: the altar in place of the head or heart, and the like. Maybe Jesus was so vividly demonstrated the students' how to do it - not only at the level of the individual, but also the entire community.
