BUKU la Mateyu limanena kuti: “Yesu analowa m’kachisi ndi kuthamangitsa onse ogulitsa ndi ogula m’kachisimo, ndipo anagubuduza matebulo a osintha ndalama ndi mabenchi a ogulitsa nkhunda. Iye anawauza kuti: ‘Malemba amati, “Nyumba yanga idzatchedwa nyumba yopemphereramo,” koma inu mukuisandutsa phanga la achifwamba.’”​—Mat. 21:12, 13.

Mwachitsanzo, buku lina limanena kuti pa nthawi ina amalondawo ankagulitsa nkhunda ziwiri zoti anthu apereke nsembe pa mtengo wa dinari imodzi yagolide. Ndalamayi ndi imene munthu wamba ankapeza akagwira ntchito kwa masiku 25. Nkhunda kapena njiwa ndi zimene anthu osauka ankaloledwa kupereka nsembe. Koma amalondawo ankagulitsanso mbalame zimenezi pa mtengo wodula kwambiri. (Lev. 1:14; 5:7; 12:6-8) Rabi wina dzina lake Simeon ben Gamaliel ataona zimene zinkachitikazi, anadandaula kwambiri. Choncho anachepetsa chiwerengero cha nsembe zimene anthu ankayenera kupereka ndipo izi zinathandiza kuti mtengo wa njiwa ziwiri utsike ndi 99 peresenti.
