John 2

13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"

No, no, no! Read the passage. Jesus was driving cows and sheep, whatever he could climb on. I like to think he may have ridden a money changer or two as well. I can just see it, Jesus up there on the poor guy's shoulders, maybe one hand over his eyes, whip flailing behind him, saying, "Ya, mule, ya! That'll teach you to make change in my Father's house!"

Cheez! It would be just silly, Jesus giving rides to sheep and cows on a chariot. They don't even have fingers to hang on with!

you might want to check other translations of this verse, get the idea behind it, or maybe you're just a sarcastic juggalo.

meanwhile, check this out:

Jdg 1:18 The LORD helped the army of Judah capture Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron, and the land near those towns. They also took the hill country. But the people who lived in the valleys had iron chariots, so Judah was not able to make them leave or to take their land.

I assume you're asking about the word "drove" in "drove all from the temple". It means to herd or forcibly motivate them to move.

Perhaps check the dictionary about words you don't understand, just a piece of friendly advice from an atheist.

I REFUSE to believe you didn't know what "drove all from the temple" meant. I REFUSE! I REFUSE!
