entered the temple courts ▼ ▼▼ The merchants (those who were selling things there) would have been located in the Court of the Gentiles.
and began to drive out those who were selling things there, ▼▼ Matthew (21:12–27), Mark (11:15–19) and Luke (here, 19:45–46) record this incident of the temple cleansing at the end of Jesus’ ministry. John (2:13–16) records a cleansing of the temple at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. See the note on the word temple courts in John 2:14 for a discussion of the relationship of these accounts to one another.
