John 2:13-17

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

13 ^aAnd the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus ^bwent up to Jerusalem. 14 ^aAnd He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling ^athe doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making ^bMy Father’s house a ¹place of business.” 17 His ^adisciples remembered that it was written, “^bZeal for Your house will consume me.”
