It is a significant event described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, where Jesus, angered by the commercialization of the temple, expels the money changers and merchants from the sacred space. This event is a dramatic portrayal of Jesus' zeal for the sanctity of God's house and his opposition to the exploitation of religious worship for personal gain.
Biblical Context: Matthew 21:12-13 (NIV)
"Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 'It is written,' he said to them, 'My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers.'"
This incident is also recounted in:
Mark 11:15-17
Luke 19:45-46
John 2:13-16 (In John, this event is placed at the beginning of Jesus' ministry, rather than the end, as in the synoptic Gospels.)
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s surrealist interpretation, the scene would be filled with dreamlike distortions and symbolic imagery that critique the commercialization of religious spaces. The temple would be portrayed in fluid, surreal forms, and the money changers would appear as disjointed, abstract figures to symbolize their corruption. Jesus’ actions would be dynamic and filled with divine energy, as he expels the merchants from the temple. The contrast between sacred and profane would be highlighted, with surreal elements representing the clash of values. Dalí would use his trademark style to show the futility of materialism and the importance of spiritual purity.
