It means exactly what it means.
He said mercy not sacrifice, and the pigeons were used as sacrifice. And He came to preach mercy.

Since he is god in the flesh and wrote the laws of moses, he knew full well they turned the temple into a market place, when it is a place of worship or to be used for educational perpusses or medical reasons.

You do many things in the name of sacrifice to God
but you never give room to the poor in your heart
and you never forgive your enemies
better do the second then follow the first.

stop by a christian book store, search their shelves..
seek out a book that explains the 'book' of the bible (that this passage came from) more clearly..
You're seeking something, and yes, it's easy to give you the answer.. but what may be more important here, is your search for it, yourself. You may pick up other things on the way..
May your journey take you to the truth..
God bless..

It does not say HE set them free it says HE over turned the benches

ALL life is precious and one should not use sacrifice as an end all to ask and receive the BLESSINGS OF GOD.

Once again, if you will cite the entire verse you will get a complete and contextual answer.
