And note the Commandments Jesus did not list; no other Gods, honor the Sabbath, take not the name of the Lord in vain. I'm confused that if 'thievery' at the temple was what set Him off, then just (apparently) a few days later, he is acknowledging thieves being crucified with Him as going to Heaven.
Scripture doesn't record any other 'outraged' conduct from Jesus regarding murderers or liars, for example. (Although He was really pissed at the fig tree. If it was privately owned, He is guilty of vandalism, or destruction of property)
The Commandments not listed substantially define humanities relationship with God, and Jesus has the opportunity to list them, but doesn't.
Any kind of 'disrespect' or 'profaning' of the temple grounds by commercial transactions, currency exchange, or imperfect offerings, would substantially be covered by those Commandments not listed.
Like so many other items in Scripture, this doesn't add up to me, either.
