The Cleansing Of The Temple

¹¹ And the crowds kept saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee!” ¹² Jesus went into the temple complex and drove out all those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves. ¹³ And He said to them, “It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer. But you are making it a den of thieves!”
