12 And Jesus entered the temple courts[a] and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves. 13 And he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[b] but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
