This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth
in Galilee.
Matthew 21:11
After Jesus rode into the city, He went directly to the Temple area, where he found a market of buying and selling, just as He had at the beginning of His ministry. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and chased away those who were selling doves. He proclaimed to those watching: "It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers."
After clearing the market, Jesus sat down to teach and heal. The blind and the lame felt His healing touch. The children shouted, Hosanna to the Son of David! Matthew states that the "chief priests and the teachers of the law“ were indignant. Mark says they continued to look for ways to kill Him. Jesus knew all of this, but remained in the temple for the entire day, bring His message to those who were willing to listen. At the end of the day, He retired to Lazarus’ home in Bethany.
