⁷ and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib^(A) had done in providing Tobiah^(B) a room in the courts of the house of God.

⁵ and he had provided him with a large room formerly used to store the grain offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes^(A) of grain, new wine and olive oil prescribed for the Levites, musicians and gatekeepers, as well as the contributions for the priests.

Jesus at the Temple^(A)

¹² Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying^(B) and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers^(C) and the benches of those selling doves.^{(D) 13} “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’^[a](E) but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’^[b]”^(F)

¹¹ My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household^(A) have informed me that there are quarrels among you.

²⁸ shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”^{(A) 29} (They had previously seen Trophimus^(B) the Ephesian^(C) in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
