The Cleansing of the Temple
14 And he found in the temple courts[a] those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated. 15 And he made a whip of cords and[b] drove them[c] all out of the temple courts,[d] both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their[e] tables. 16 And to the ones selling the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”[f]
