Isaiah 56:6-7
New King James Version
6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
7 Even them I will (A)bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My (B)house of prayer.
(C)Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be (D)accepted on My altar;
For (E)My house shall be called a house of prayer (F)for all nations.”
Isaiah 56:6-7
New International Version
6 And foreigners(A) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(B) to him,
to love the name(C) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(D) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain(E)
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices(F)
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations.(G)”(H)

Jesus Cleanses the Temple(A)
15 (B)So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold (C)doves. 16 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple. 17 Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, (D)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a (E)‘den of thieves.’ ”
18 And (F)the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because (G)all the people were astonished at His teaching. 19 When evening had come, He went out of the city.
