| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:39.9 | Hey there, sprouts. Today is Friday, March 12, 2021. Now, all week we have been talking about the first few days of that final week of Jesus' life. We talked about his entry into Jerusalem, which we celebrate on Palm Sunday. We talked about the preaching he did in the temple on the topics of judgment and of accepting our own death so that we |
| 0:46.5 | might bear fruit. Yesterday, we started talking about the event that we celebrate on Tuesday of |
| 0:52.3 | Holy Week, which is the cleansing of the temple. |
| 0:54.9 | And we talked about all the ways that the high priest and the whole temple system was corrupt. |
| 1:00.7 | Now, today we are going to talk about why this event, the cleansing of the temple, really set in motion |
| 1:08.9 | the Pharisees and the high priest deciding to get rid of Jesus. |
| 1:14.6 | So first of all, let's talk about why the high priests were so mad. |
| 1:19.8 | Because of course, Jesus didn't create a whip and get them out of the temple, |
| 1:23.5 | but they likely saw or heard about this event. So why would the high priest like Caius and his |
| 1:31.2 | father-in-law, Anis, be so mad? Well, that's pretty obvious, right? When Jesus expelled the money |
| 1:38.1 | changers and the merchants, they were losing a lot of money. They were making a ton of money. |
| 1:44.3 | They were getting very rich off of the temple tax and off of the sale of animals and all of these things. |
| 1:50.6 | They were getting very rich off of it. |
| 1:52.4 | So as you know, that would likely have made them very mad. |
| 1:57.3 | Also, they were controlling the people by all of these taxes and requirements. |
| 2:04.0 | And with those people kicked out of the temple, they lost a ton of control. |
| 2:09.5 | Now, Jesus was sitting in this cleansed temple without the money changers and the merchants, |
| 2:15.2 | and he was able to be the one teaching with authority, |
| 2:19.0 | not them. So that would have made them very mad. Now, the other group to think about are the Pharisees. |
| 2:26.3 | Now, it's confusing sometimes to understand the high priests and the Pharisees, but they're very |
| 2:33.4 | different groups of people. So the Pharisees, |
