That right there should bother everybody, but nobody knows the history of that era to notice this passage is problematic.
1) Because The Temple Grounds were acceptable in use during high holidays for accommodating the high flow of people from all over, thus "the money changers" for the tourists currency exchange, and trade tables at the surrounding courtyard were liken to our stadium vendors during games and Beach tables and booths on the beaches during spring break. If you were to " overturn" the tables at any such accommodation you would be the Tesla protester type radical irrational hothead protester criminal & sinner =in the wrong.
2) HISTORICALLY The story of Jesus overturning the tables at the temple comes from the story of Yehuda the Galionite
who was a thief & murderer who "ransacked" the temple & was sometimes confused with
Yehuda the Galilean Christ figure (similar described name) who is used for your Christ at the time of Herod and Lysanias era. These confused characters were used for the Jesus & Jesus Barabbas story.
