If that text encourages the slaughter of Jews then it's allowed
as protected by its holiness.
That's specifically in the legislation to slaughter Jews? The text causes death?
Then John 2:15 says about Jesus: 'In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables. So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables'.
So Parliament specifically says to whip Jews and pour out their money? And use machetes on unbelievers? The Antisemitic law is to attack Jews?
It was directed only at people desecrating the holy temple by
changing money and selling animals etc.
Under Temple law, money-changing for diaspora Jews and the sale of animal sacrifices were not desecrations of the Temple. It had been done for centuries.
Jesus (and particularly his brother, James) advocated for an extreme form of charity, i.e., giving all to the poor. James held this conviction until his death.
Google AI OverviewIn a passionate display of righteous anger, Jesus drove money changers and merchants from the Jerusalem Temple with a makeshift whip of cords, overturning their tables and declaring that his "Father’s house" should not be a "den of thieves" or a marketplace. This act occurred during Passover and disrupted the exploitative commercialism occurring within the sacred space.
Key Details of the Event
The Action: Described in all four Gospels (John 2:13-16, Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:15-17, Luke 19:45-46), Jesus physically ejected those buying and selling animals, poured out coins, and overturned tables of money changers.
The Reason: The Temple courtyard was filled with merchants selling animals for sacrifice and changing foreign currency into temple currency, often at inflated rates, which hindered worship and exploited the poor.
Significance: This act of purification showed "zeal for [God's] house" and directly challenged the religious authorities who permitted this trade, contributing to their decision to seek his death.
The Whip: While often depicted as a weapon, the "whip of cords" mentioned in John 2:15 is interpreted as a tool to drive out the livestock (sheep and oxen) and signal authority rather than a weapon meant for violence against people.
This event represents a moment of fiery indignation where Jesus restored the holy purpose of the Temple, emphasizing that greed and commerce had no place in the worship of God.
