Why was Jesus so upset about a little business being transacted in the temple courts?

Jesus was so upset with the business transactions in the temple courts because the temple was supposed to be a house of prayer which was to be revered .it was also supposed to be a place where God's presence inhabited,and hence needed to be respected.

Moreover,the transactions being carried out there were dishonest,yet God hates dishonest measures,and in carrying dishonest business in God's premises,they were dishonouring and blasheming against God.

Why did John introduce Jesus as "the Lamb of God"?

He introduced Jesus as the Lamb of God to remind them about what Isaiah had prophesied about the Christ-'like a "lamb" led to the slaughter..'

Also it was an indication of Jesus' mission- to be a sacrifice- the way a lamb was sacrificed for atonement of sin.

"of God " to indicate Jesus' devine origin.

How did John`s testimony prepare people to receive Jesus and His message?

His denial that he was not the Christ made them to still wait /anticipate a Christ- hence,there were no conflict of roles or identity.

-His message was for repentance,and since they accepted their sinfulness and got baptised by John, part of the task-making ready of the people -was accomplished.
