Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

[kandrathe]

That may be your interpretation, but the passage in question shows clearly enough that Jesus simply wanted to restrict all activities in *his* temple to praying. Even carrying of bags was not allowed. If he cared about the prices, there would have been some mention of it, don't you think? "And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the Temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the Temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the Temple. And He taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My House shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? But ye have made it a den of thieves. And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy Him: for they feared Him, because all the people was astonished at His doctrine." (Mark 11:15-18)

This is a great example for how translations are misinterpreted. It's not vessels, it's merchandise. Vendors were strolling throughout the holy courtyards hawking their wares much like vendors at a sports stadium, "Prayer beads, get your ice cold prayer beads!"
