What was unrevealed about the “event details”.?...The money changers were taking money at high rates of exchange in exchange for the “temple shekel” which could only be used to pay the yearly “temple tax”. This dishonored God making HIM out to be a thief!

Could there have followed Zacharias like scenes where the cheating changers promised to make good on the excess they charged? Was everybody in the temple gouging on rates, or only some of them? How about those set up in surrounding areas but not the temple? Where did the collected proceeds and the unused temple shekels end up going?

None of that is in the bible account.
