	Scene II (Mt.21:12-16): The Messiah & the Twelve enter the local temple where they discover moneychangers buying & selling. The Messiah is immediately angered, grabs a whip & disrupts everything while chasing everyone out of the temple. The Twelve support their messiah via this exciting Hip-Hop minstrelsy. (Vocalist: Cheryl Reese / Bg Vocals: Carl Mitchell)
