"So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables"

What do you suppose would have happened if He had whipped the money-changers, instead of just the innocent sheep and cattle? Trust me, the animals didn't want to be there knowing WHY they were there.

In the temple complex He found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and [He also found] the money changers sitting there.

Might it not have been more effective to whip those doing the selling rather than those being sold? Just a thought ;-)

And we could certainly include the moneychangers too!

He did, I posted the part right before the whipping where he drove all.

The Scripture doesn't say that He ever hit the people! Only that he whipped the animals and turned over the tables.

I'm sure he only used the threat of the whip on the animals.
