45 Jesus Cleanses the Temple.[a] Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were engaging in selling, 46 saying to them, “It is written,
‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’
but you have made it a den of thieves.”
Footnotes
- Luke 19:45 Jesus demands respect for the temple and installs himself in it to proclaim the message of God. It is thus that he conceives and exercises the royal authority of the Messiah. Like the Prophets, he refuses to allow religion to deteriorate into a business affair.
