Cleansing the Temple

12

Yeshua entered the Temple grounds and drove out those who were doing business there, both the merchants and their customers. He upset the desks of the money changers and knocked over the benches of those who were selling pigeons.

13

He said to them, "It has been written, `My house will be called a house of prayer.' But you are making it into a den of robbers!"

14

Blind and lame people came up to him in the Temple, and he healed them.

15

But when the head cohanim and Torah-teachers saw the wonderful things he was doing, and the children crying out in the Temple, "Please deliver us!" to the Son of David, they were furious.

16

They said to him, "Do you hear what they're saying?" Yeshua replied, "Of course! Haven't you ever read, `From the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise for yourself'?"

17

With that, he left them and went outside the city to Beit-Anyah, where he spent the night.
