John 2:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ Jesus made a whip out of cords. Then he forced all these men, with the sheep and cattle, to leave the Temple. He turned over the tables and scattered the money of the men who were exchanging it. ¹⁶ Then he said to those who were selling pigeons, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a place for buying and selling!”

¹⁷ When this happened the followers remembered what was written in the Scriptures: “My strong love for your Temple completely controls me.”^[a]
