Jesus Goes to the Temple

12 Jesus went into the Temple and threw out all the people who were buying and selling there. He turned over the tables of those who were exchanging different kinds of money, and he upset the benches of those who were selling doves. 13 Jesus said to all the people there, “It is written in the Scriptures, ‘My Temple will be called a house for prayer.’[a] But you are changing it into a ‘hideout for robbers.’”[b]

14 The blind and crippled people came to Jesus in the Temple, and he healed them.
