[QUOTE="AionPhanes, post: 68912280, member: 371711"] Chances are the story of Jesus overturning the tables in the Temple wasn't a literal historical event in the first place. He would have been beaten and arrested right then. The Gospels don't even agree on when the event took place (unless maybe he did it twice). John has him do it earlier on in his ministry, on the first of three passover mentioned in the Gospels, whereas the synoptics have him doing it days before his crucifixion. People would often include non historical events in hagiographical writtings. The purpose being to edify, encode allegorical or spiritual teachings, etc.. Early church Fathers like Origen explained that this was the case with the Bible (ie not all stories are literal historical.) [/QUOTE]
