What is he doing about it?
Mark 11:15-17 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple and began
driving out those who were buying and selling there.
He overturned the tables of the money changers and those selling doves. He would not
allow anyone to carry goods for sale through the temple courts.
He said, “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations, but you have made it a den of
thieves.”

How is this story different from what you saw in the clip ?
Jesus entered the palace and saw the tax collectors changing money and selling tortoises. He overturned some buckets and stopped any people carrying children for sale from coming in. He said “This is a king’s palace, and you have made it a den of lions”.

***Who had stronger reasons to get rid of Jesus ?
He’s been talking about setting up a Kingdom- he might want to
take over..
People listen to his
teachings about God, not
ours He comes into the city, as if he is a King
ready to rule
He gives religion a bad name by going around
with prostitutes and sinners
He says he is equal to God, God’s son,
but our religion doesn’t allow that
He’s got lots of followers and
supporters...he might start a
rebellion.
Who wanted to get rid of Jesus most ?
