15aThen they *came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling 1doves; 16and He was not permitting anyone to carry 1merchandise through the temple. 17And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘aMy house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? bBut you have made it a robbers’ 1den.” 18And the chief priests and the scribes heard this, and abegan seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for bthe whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
