as a devout jew, he had been to the great temple many times before with his family. but now he came at a politically charged time with a provocative message. >> passover is the feast of freedom. the city has swelled with well over a million pilgrims. there's a concern for roman occupation. pilate has brought his troops into the city. anybody who talks about the kingdom of god, and even more, anybody about whom the word goes out, this is a new king, is clearly a political liability. >> and not just a liability to the romans, but to the jewish hierarchy led by their high priest, ciaphas. in one of the most vivid passages in the gospels, a furious jesus enters the temple to cleanse it of the money changers he finds there. >> overturning the temple tables of the money changers and the offerings that were being sold. which was the necessary business of temple work.
