“Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.” Matthew 21:10
Most people think that his greatest miracle is to raise Lazarus from the dead or to open the eyes of a blind child… In my opinion, the most impressive thing is that one person who was rejected without consideration (who had no particular religious status) came to the crucifixion and was able to strike with the whip of the scribes and Pharisees rebellious against him, who witness with their own eyes the destruction of their gains, expel the large crowd, turn the tables and destroy the chairs, for a fiery flame was coming out of his eyes, and the greatness of his divinity shines on his face, so the priests did not dare to stretch out their hands on him.
Saint Jerome
