John 2:16
John 2:16 Make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. How often still the Father's house is so desecrated! This cleansing was a different one from that which occurred three years later at the close of his ministry (Matthew 21:12).
14 aAnd He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers1 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 aMy Father’s house a house of merchandise!”
17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, a“Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”
18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, a“What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
