| PEDDLERS |
We have been
peddling our wares in the Temple for years and many others for centuries
before us! There is no better place for
business. |
| PHARISEES |
It is true that the
Temple is the house of God but this Jesus acts like its his own house! |
| PIOUS PEOPLE |
At last someone has
had the courage to stand up to this gang of opportunists. |
| CUSTOMERS |
It was very
convenient for us to do some shopping on the way out of the Temple. This
Jesus should be put in his place! |
| SACRIFICE OFFERERS |
Where are we going
to buy our sacrificial animals from now?! This means a lot of extra carrying
and inconvenience for us! |
| FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST |
Jesus must be
careful because he is making too many powerful enemies. We fear for his
safety. |
| JESUS |
The Temple should
be a house of prayer not a den of thieves! |
| MARY |
I know that he has a special
calling but I cannot help worrying when he draws so much attention to
himself. |
