Why was Jesus so upset about a little business being transacted in the temple courts?

Jesus clears the temple
Jesus was upset because the temple is a holy place and the people make a market place out of the temple. They dirty the place and even money changers are doing transaction which is indeed very distubing. By: Kathleen Terado - February 06, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Clears the Temple

His is the Kingdom of spiritual treasures so he doesn`t like it being mixed with money eartly concerns. Its not appropriate and is a lack of respect as well as an exploitation of His Holy Name. By: Alessandra Parrini - January 12, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Clears the Temple

The Temple is totally a wrong place to be selling and buying commodities.
It should remain the prayer house all the times. By: Bol Joseph Agau - January 05, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Clears the Temple

Once the temple was cleared, did the money changers understand why Jesus did what he did?

He was upset because they were using His Father`s house as a marketplace. This house was Holy, and not meant for such things. By: Tina Joyner - January 05, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Clears the Temple
After this, he went
down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples;
and they stayed there a few days. The Passover of the Jews was at
hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple those who
sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. He made a whip of cords, and
threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured
out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables. To those who sold the doves, he
said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my
Father's house a marketplace!" His disciples remembered that it
was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."
The Jews therefore
answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these
things?"
Jesus answered them,
"Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise
it up." The Jews therefore
said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you
raise it up in three days?" But he spoke of the temple of his
body. When therefore he
was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and
they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Now when he was in
Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name,
observing his signs which he did. But Jesus didn't trust himself to
them, because he knew everyone, and because he didn't need for
anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
