@agaperealm @mk @EvolLove @RoboftheVolcano @Sirensabotage Likely a both / and situation. The Pharisees didn't like that He threatened their power and status by preaching to everyone. The money changer grift was a spiritual slight against anyone not a priest or levite (helper) because the outer temple was for open worship and the money changers and animal vendors were making a lot of noise AND turning it into a place of commerce for their scheme.
