John’s gospel depicts the event as the first sign of Jesus’ glory and his disciples’ belief in him. After the wedding, Jesus, his mother Mary and his disciples traveled to Jerusalem for Passover. At the temple, they saw moneychangers and merchants selling wares. In a rare display of anger, Jesus overturned the tables and, with a whip made of cords, drove them out, declaring that his Father’s house is not a house for merchants.
Mwanzo 3: 4 Bwana Mungu akamwambia nyoka, Kwa sababu umeyafanya hayo, umeLAANIWA wewe kuliko wanyama wote, na kuliko hayawani wote walioko mwituni; kwa tumbo utakwenda, na mavumbi utakula siku zote za maisha yako; 15 nami nitaweka uadui kati yako na huyo mwanamke, na kati ya uzao wako na uzao wake; huo utakuponda kichwa, na wewe utamponda kisigino.
