The Cleansing of the Temple

15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple courts[a] and[b] began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple courts,[c] and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves. 16 And he did not permit anyone to carry objects[d] through the temple courts.[e] 17 And he began to teach[f] and was saying to them, “Is it not written,

‘My house will be called a house of prayer
    for all the nations,’[g]

but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
