The Tensions of Passover

Jesus makes some sort of disturbance in the temple and it's interesting what happens is that he doesn't get arrested immediately. There is a group around him who are clearly interested and signed up to what Jesus moved about because if you do get rid of a figure who might be another John the Baptist, you may have a serious riot on your hands. The action that Jesus does in the temple where he turns over the tables of the money changes and dovessellers is one I think that's economic in its target.
