THE FIRST TIME JESUS MINISTERED IN JERUSALEM WAS AT THE TEMPLE RIGHT AFTER HE HAD DRIVEN OUT THE ONES THAT WERE SELLING THE SHEEP, OXEN AND DOVES FOR THE OFFERINGS.  HE HAD MADE A WHIP AND DROVE THEM OUT AND TURNED OVER THEIR MONEY TABLES.  HE SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE HIS FATHER'S HOUSE A HOUSE OF MERCHANDISE.  AFTER DRIVING THE MONEY CHANGERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE, HE BEGAN MINISTERING TO THE PEOPLE.  MANY HAD BEEN FOLLOWING HIM TO SEE ALL THE MIRACLES HE WAS DOING AND MANY BELIEVED IN HIS NAME BECAUSE OF THE MIRACLES.  THE BIBLE SAYS IN JOHN 2:24 "But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men," HE DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TRYING TO SPREAD HIS MESSAGE THAT REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HIS MESSAGE WAS.  THEY HAD SEEN THE MIRACLES AND BELIEVED BECAUSE OF THEM.  I THINK THIS SHOWS THAT JESUS IS INTERESTED IN THE QUALITY OF OUR MESSAGE.  THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO BE CONSTANTLY IN HIS WORD AND LEARN AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
