Jesus was angered by religious people inappropriately taking people`s money (robber`s den). Why did Jesus take such dramatic action and not just condemn with words?

The religious people used to make the people buy doves and other sacrificial offerings at expensive rates from the temple itself. If they brought it cheaper from the market or home, it was rejected by the priests. That is why Jeus was angered at them and called it a robber's den. He knew the religious people at the temple who were selling the stuff would not listen to him, so he upset everything to make them stop.

What did the blind man acknowledge about Jesus by calling him the "Son of David."? Note: David was a great king of Israel. The "Messiah" was predicted to be a direct descendent of David, as Jesus was.

Jesus defines a great person as one who serves others. What did Jesus mean when he said he "did not come to be served, but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many."?

Jeus meant that He did not come to earth to be worshiped as God, but as a humble man, who gave up his life so that all sinners would be saved from eternal hell.
