He found in the temple courts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables.

So he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple courts, with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

Jesus replied, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again."
