Cleansing the Temple Complex
45 He(A) went into the temple complex and began to throw out those who were selling,[a] 46 and He said, “It is written, My house will be a house of prayer,(B) but you have made it a den of thieves!”(C)[b]
47 Every day He was teaching(D) in the temple complex. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people were looking for a way to destroy(E) Him, 48 but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people(F) were captivated by what they heard.[c]
