Thirty years ago during my last year of college, I had to write a thesis paper for my degree. I did it on a selection from the Gospel of John, where Jesus showed up at the Temple and "cleansed" it, angrily chasing away the money-changers and other functionaries. I still remember the paper well, and have it somehwere at home in a box.
Based on a bunch of details I won't bore you with here, it most likely would have happenned somewhere within the frame of these pictures I took this afternoon and that you are looking at, at the edge of the plaza, or just slightly down where the current steps are in the last picture. (Keep in mind that there are twenty centuries of historical debris here, and this pavement today would definitely not have been the surface it would have occured on. But I'd be standing on top of where it all happenned.)
I thought this was.......well, quite good, quite satisfying, as I took pictures and thought about it all.
