To cleanse it (throwing out the money changers and stopping the animal sacrifices). Have you ever read what went on in that place before Jesus disrupted the services (both right before His crucifixion and then permanently when He foretold of it’s destruction)? The Talmud gives a full description and it’s like something straight from Paganism/Neo-Satanism.
stopped the animal sacrifices? even according to your writings in acts Paul didn't even do that. upon his arrival in Jerusalem before being arrested you'll remember he shaved his head and took the vow of a nazarite. which includes sacrificing a couple of turtle doves according to Torah. he did claim to be Jewish don't ya know.
Actually I was talking about before then. You might want to look at Luke 2:41-47 and Luke 4:16.
