I don't think He used the whip on the people. But as is common, to drive out the animals. The people got the message!

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary:


" The first public work in which we find Christ engaged, was driving from the temple the traders whom the covetous priests and rulers encouraged to make a market-place of its courts. Those now make God's house a house of merchandise, whose minds are filled with cares about worldly business when attending religious exercises, or who perform Divine offices for love of gain. Christ, having thus cleansed the temple, gave a sign to those who demanded it, to prove his authority for so doing. He foretells his death by the Jews' malice, Destroy ye this temple; I will permit you to destroy it. He foretells his resurrection by his own power; In three days I will raise it up. "


Matthew Henry (1662–1714)

^^ Stop doing that, I beg of you, lest I gnash my teeth and take the name of the Lord in vain!
