<p>2:14 <em>And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at their tables</em>- These were the sons of Annas, the High Priest. This deepened the anti-climax- the Lord entered Jerusalem and the temple- and cast out the sons of the High Priest.<br />Instead of entering the temple in glory, fulfilling the hope of Ezekiel&rsquo;s vision of the temple where Messiah enters the temple from the East, instead the Lord entered the temple- and in a huge anti-climax, castigates the Jewish religious leadership, throwing them out of the temple. This cleansing of the temple was repeated at the end of His ministry; see on Mt. 21:12.</p>
