Jesus Drives Money Changers from the Temple

15 ^aThen they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling ^{▼▼ Lit the doves}doves; 16 and He would not permit anyone to carry ^{▼▼ Lit a vessel; i.e. a receptacle or implement of any kind}merchandise through the temple. 17 And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘ ^d My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? ^eBut you have made it a robbers’ ^{▼▼ Lit cave} den.” 18 The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and ^g began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for ^hthe whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
