John 2:13-17New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus (Yeshua) Cleanses the Temple

¹³ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. 

¹⁵ When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. 

¹⁶ And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

 ¹⁷ Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten^[a] Me up.
