== == The story can be found in Matthew 21:12.

"And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple and turned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, 'It is written, 'My house show be called a house of prayer'; but you make it a den of robbers.'"

The fact of the matter is that people were using the temple grounds for their own profits rather than to worship God. They saw it as a prime place to sell pigeons and make profit from changing money because of the crowds of people that gathered there. It is speculation, but it may have been possible that the lenders and merchants lined the temple officials pockets under the table to be allowed to stay their. The temple was being corrupted, and Jesus showed us how to stand up for what is right when it is necessary.

Is money more valuable than Jesus since there is more paper money passed around daily than pages of the bible where the story of Jesus can be found but nothing actually written by him just by others?

The Bible, Jesus, and paper money are not related. Even in the daily life of Jesus money was used ( he threw the money changers out of the temple) and I don't see where you get the relationship between the Bible and money. Are we to use the pages of the Bible as money? True Jesus didn't write the Bible and the Bible we know today is not close to the first pages written in Greek, but you either accept these things as truth or not. That is up to you and the value you place on it is also your decision. I really think you are confused and need to rethink the question above.
