Jesus - the Jewish Savior of Filipinos

Jesus found in the temple people selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables. So he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!” John 2:13-17

Can you, my dear reader, explain what has this episode with money changers in the temple somewhere in Israel some 2,000 years ago got anything to do with Jesus as a Jew, and as the Son of God - born of a Virgin Jewish Mary - ended up as the Savior
of the Filipinos in the Philippines? Poch Suzara
