Luke 19:45-48

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jesus Cleanses His Father’s House

⁴⁵ Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling^[a] things there. ⁴⁶ He told them, “It is written, ‘My house will be a house of prayer,’^[b] but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”^[c]

⁴⁷ Every day he was teaching in the temple courts, but the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the leaders of the people continued to look for a way to put him to death. ⁴⁸ They could not find any way to do it, because all the people were clinging to him and listening.
