The Cleansing of the Temple
45 And he entered into the temple courts[a] and[b] began to drive out those who were selling, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘And my house will be a house of prayer,’[c] but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
47 And he was teaching every day in the temple courts,[d] and the chief priests and the scribes and the most prominent men of the people were seeking to destroy him. 48 And they did not find anything they could do, because all the people were paying close attention to what they were hearing from him.
