14 (A)In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make (B)my Father's house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, (C)“Zeal for your house will consume me.”

Psalm 27:4-6
English Standard Version
4 (A)One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may (B)dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon (C)the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire[a] in his temple.
5 For he will (D)hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will (E)lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my (F)head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of (G)joy;
(H)I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
