Matthew 21:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ Jesus said to ·all the people there [^Lthem], “It is written in the Scriptures, ‘My ·Temple [^LHouse] will be called a house for prayer [Is. 56:7].’ But you are ·changing [making] it into a ·hideout for robbers [^Tden of thieves; Jer. 7:11].”

¹⁴ The blind and ·crippled people [lame] came to Jesus in the Temple [courts; v. 12], and he healed them. ¹⁵ [^LBut when] The ·leading [^Tchief] priests and the ·teachers of the law [scribes] saw that Jesus was doing wonderful things and that the children were praising him in the Temple [courts; v. 12], saying, “·Praise [^LHosanna; v. 9] to the Son of David [^Ca title for the Messiah; v. 9].” All these things made the priests and the ·teachers of the law [scribes] ·very angry [indignant].
