>Notice that Jesus quotes a verse from the scriptures that the Jews use. For He says, 'It is written".
A quote from the Old Testament, that the temple should be a place of worship?
>He is not calling anyone anything here in this passage.
Do you feel the words robbers and thieves are an incorrect translation?
>as you say a Jew could see that the popular translation could be considered by Jews to be anti-Semitic
I can see that. But, do you think it's an attack on Judaism, or rather an attack on the specific activity of trade inside the temple? ie. not an attack on Judaism at all.
>I would like to explain the Hebrew translation from the passage quoted which could show a revelation here.
Do you know of a better translation? I looked at various translations online but they all seemed fairly similar.
Thanks Lou.
