John

John 2:13–16

¹³When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴In the temple courts^b He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables. ¹⁵So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. ¹⁶To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
