Luke 19:45-47

Living Bible

⁴⁵ Then he entered the Temple and began to drive out the merchants from their stalls, ⁴⁶ saying to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple is a place of prayer; but you have turned it into a den of thieves.’”

⁴⁷ After that he taught daily in the Temple, but the chief priests and other religious leaders and the business community^[a] were trying to find some way to get rid of him.
