Jesus Cleanses the Temple

13 *ch. 11:55;See ch. 6:4The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus *ver. 23;Deut. 16:1-6;Luke 2:41went up to Jerusalem. 14 *For ver. 14-17, [Matt. 21:12,13;Mark 11:15-17;Luke 19:45,46,with Mal. 3:1-3]In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; do not make *[ch. 14:2;Luke 2:49]my Father’s house a house of trade."17 His disciples remembered that it was written, *Cited from Ps. 69:9"Zeal for your house will consume me."
