Jesus Clears the Temple


John 2:12-16, "Jesus went down to Capernaum with His mother, brothers, and disciples. There they stayed for a few days. When it was time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the Temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and others sitting at tables changing money. So He made a whip of cords and drove them out scattering the coins and overturning the tables. To those who sold doves He said, 'Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father's house into a market!' "

Matthew 21:12, Mark 11:17, Luke 19:36 records Jesus saying, "It is written, 'My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers!' "

Matthew 2:17, "His disciples remembered that it is written, "Zeal for Your house will consume Me."
