    Jerusalem is a great city, the pinnacle of human history.  When Moses led the Israelites back here, the industrious Jewish ancestors opened up territory here, established the city under the leadership of King David, and brought it to its first glory in the era of King Solomon.  But in the following time, the Herodians occupied Jerusalem and implemented brutal rule. Then the Romans defeated the Herodians and established the Jewish province of the Roman Empire in the area centered on Jerusalem, and established  As governor, according to the officials conquered by the Roman Empire, King Herodius was retained, he was just a figurehead.  The Jews who lived here for generations continued their simple and austere life, living with difficulty under the dual rule of Rome and Herodius.  Passover is one of the most important Jewish festivals and the Jewish New Year. This day is to commemorate the success of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt and seeing God punish Egypt.  This is a festival that all Jews attach great importance to. According to tradition, on this day, every family must slaughter a lamb, make unleavened bread, bitter herbs platter and other traditional Jewish foods, and spend this festival together as a family.  However, when the Passover came this year in Jerusalem, it was a different scene.  The dual rule of Rome and Herodius made life difficult for the Israelites. During such an important festival, most Israeli families had no lambs to slaughter. Even vegetables were extremely precious foods. The poor Israelites only had unleavened food.  You can eat the bread, but what kind of festival is it without lamb and vegetables?  On this day, the atmosphere in Jerusalem is extremely tense. Not only this year, but also in recent years, before Passover, the air above Jerusalem has been filled with anger and uneasiness.  Pilate, the Roman governor, ordered the Roman legions from the entire province of Judea to enter Jerusalem and impose martial law.  Because this local governor of the Roman Empire deeply realized that there was a powerful undercurrent surging in the introverted and deep character of the Israelis. Once this undercurrent broke out, an irreversible and terrible situation would occur.  It was during the Passover of this year that Jesus came to Jerusalem for the first time.  He had already heard about the grandeur and splendor of this city, but when he saw it on the hillside outside the city, he was still deeply impressed.  Jerusalem is built on a mountain, with scattered buildings covering the entire hillside.  Among them, the tallest and most majestic buildings are the Jewish temple, the palace of King Herodius, and the official residence of the Roman governor.  After Jesus admired the beautiful scenery of Jerusalem, he strode towards the city.  At the city gate, he was blocked without exception, because for a man dressed as a shepherd like him, he had to pay a tax to enter the city.  Jesus was extremely cooperative. He paid the tax to enter the city. The Roman soldiers guarding the city gate let him go, and he entered Jerusalem smoothly.  On this day, Jerusalem was extremely depressed and tense.  Although it was only noon, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the vendors doing business were almost extinct. Instead, teams of Roman soldiers patrolled the streets.  They occasionally crossed paths with Jews.  The eyes of both sides in return were full of anger, and the anger seemed to be ignited at any time.  Jesus walked along the street toward the city center. His destination was the Jewish temple, after several inquiries.  Passersby pointed him in the right direction.  The tall roof of the temple was getting closer, and on the way to the temple, Jesus passed by the granaries of Jerusalem.  The door here is locked.  Roman soldiers and Herodian soldiers surrounded the place because a large number of hungry people gathered here.  They were extremely poor Israelites, poor people who could not even afford unleavened bread.  They stretched out their bony arms, hoping that the rulers of Jerusalem could give them some life-saving food on this Thanksgiving holiday.  However, what they were waiting for was ruthless whippings and threats of swords and guns.  Jesus stood aside and watched silently. His face was expressionless, but his hands were clenched with anger.  He turned around and continued walking towards the temple.  The closer you get to the temple, the more gorgeous the buildings on both sides of the road are.  These buildings were the residences of Roman and Herodian nobles and Israelite clergy. The residences of the clergy were especially unique. They even built bridges so that they could enter directly from the courtyard of their homes across the entire street.  In the temple, they don't seem to want to walk side by side with ordinary people. Being aloof allows them to despise everything, and at the same time, it also completely separates them from human life.  The smell of roasted lamb and laughter wafted out from these buildings. There was singing and dancing, and the rich were celebrating Passover, completely forgetting that just outside the walls, there were countless people suffering from hunger.    Jesus came to the door of the temple, and he strode in without hesitation. At this time, in the square in front of the temple, the clergy were preparing for the burnt offering every night.  The bonfire is already burning brightly, and the lamb to be sacrificed to the gods is tied to a pillar nearby. When the time comes, the poor creature will be thrown into the fire and burned, and its death will be used to worship the gods.  A huge red drapery hangs at the entrance of the temple, swaying gently in the breeze, covering everything inside the temple. From the outside, it seems that the interior of the temple is mysterious and cannot be entered by mortals.  But Jesus ignored the existence of this authority. He strode up to the lamb, released it, and continued walking into the temple.  The temple was very cold at this time. They thought today was Passover, so all the clergy seemed extremely relaxed. They gathered in small groups in the corner to chat, so they relaxed their guard and allowed Jesus, a man who made a living, to break in.  Come in.  When they discovered that the lamb prepared for sacrifice was missing and an unkempt stranger broke into the temple, they felt the seriousness of the situation.  They stopped Jesus and asked loudly: "Who are you? How dare you break into the forbidden place without fear of God's condemnation?" Jesus was not afraid of the obstruction and questioning of these clergymen, but shouted loudly:  "Our people are suffering. Why don't you distribute food to them? Today is the greatest festival of the Israelites, and it is by no means a day when the people starve!" The clergy were somewhat at a loss by Jesus' lack of fear, because for so many years  , no one dared to challenge the clergy, and today, faced with this young Israelite, they did not know what to do.  At this moment, an old voice shouted: "Arrest this person who offended the gods!"
