Cleansing the Temple

12 ^aAnd Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the ^bmoney changers and the seats of those who were selling ^cdoves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘ ^d My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a ^e robbers’ ^{▼▼ Lit cave} den.”

14 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and ^gHe healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, “Hosanna to the ^hSon of David,” they became indignant 16 and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘ ⁱ Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”
