Our Business Increases Piety-The Story of Animal Traffickers and Money changers

"In the courtyard of the Temple in Jerusalem many veterinarians and money changers opened the company for the people Jesus came to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast of the Passover When He saw the crowd in the synagogue, He then spun the rope and cast out the people and animals -hewan out of the temple, the tables of money changers being ransacked and thrown out, angrily saying: Do not make My Father's house a trading place. "
Money changers:
good afternoon brother .. any good news? What about sales results?
Animal Dealer:
Thank you! My heart is still sullied with the wild Nazareth man ..
Money changers:
I do not really care about that. Are you on that very day losing money?
Animal Dealer:
Wow ... three pigeons flying and missing. Two rams had to be killed because of a broken leg when running in a panic.
Money changers:
Your fate is still good ... My fate is even more unfortunate. All my money is falling down and the righteous rabble casually pursue my sustenance. And again, we fought each other with friends. Everyone can gather what they can pick up.
Animal Dealer:
In the feast days, we usually already take into account the risk of losses that always arise. But what is worse is that the Nazarene branded us a band of robbers and our merchandise called a den of thieves. I am very angry with the people of the Pharisees because they do not move to restore our good name.
Money changers:
That's right..no one dare to open the mouth to restore our good name.
Animal Dealer:
As law-enforcers they knew perfectly well how many animals were sacrificed by Moses. Where there is a sacrifice, there must be sacrificial animals. It should be remembered also that the pilgrims who come from far or out of the city certainly do not bring the animals of the sacrifice here.
Money changers:
In addition, the pilgrims from outside would have to exchange money first. Would not it be good if all the hassles were made easier by giving them the opportunity to take care of the money changers and purchase in front of the temple?
Animal Dealer:
In the past there was once an uneducated person who feels offended and angry because we sell and buy animals in the courtyard of the temple. Then where is the proper place for us? People usually gathered in the temple and there arose the desire to bring sacrifices, even if they themselves saw the sacrificial animal. That's when the spirit of worship emerges. So, precisely in this case we serve indirectly by encouraging people to carry out their duties.
Money changers:
Where do we actually get the money for the maintenance of the Temple if not from our pious seller? It is very unreasonable that we are being abused by the Nazarene, when it is precisely we who support and contribute for the sake of the beauty and sanctity of this holy place.
Animal Dealer:
Sure ... perhaps He wants us to open up the black and dirty market or to live as tax officials and tax collectors? I do not think there is a more polite way than to sell things that are consecrated to God.
Money changers:
The adventurous preacher lives from the duties of his righteous followers. Do not be surprised if He always praises the tax officials. These bastard's employees roam at crossroads and under bridges and blackmail good and honest merchants.
Animal Dealer:
When else do we get good fortune if not on holidays? On a typical day there is absolutely no hope. Those who came there in the days leading up to the big party could find themselves the favorite animal and the cheapest. They get what they need and we get what we crave, which is good money.
Money changers:
Who came to the Nazarene? Perhaps there is a review of the city?
Animal Dealer:
However, He did not escape the ordinance of offerings. According to the news I heard from company friends, His parents used to buy sacrificial animals for sacrifices when their sons were born. They bought two pigeons.
Money changers:
And it is precisely this son who is shouting here and there that this is a dear house, and we turn him into a den of robbers! Indeed, no one prevented him from praying through the court until the Holy Temple.
Animal Dealer:
The one who prays wants to have God's mercy. It's the same as buying a sacrificial animal that is also dedicated to God's mercy. Both ways are equally good and profitable.
Money changers:
What should we do to make the bad impression caused by the Nazarene's lies go away?
Animal Dealer:
It must first be clearly stated and firmly that every action and interference of a fanatic in trade and commerce is against the law and may be subject to punishment. Our efforts in front of the Temple are stuck only because the authorities are authorized to silence a thousand words against the cleansing of the Temple.
Money changers:
It's good ... but too less! Most important is to explain to the people that our trade business is not only decent and polite, but also has a driving element toward piety. It is not in vain that this is done under the shelter of the house of God.
