Mark 11: 15-19 Jesus
Cleanses the Temple15 Then they
came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out
those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and
he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of
those who sold doves; 16and he would not allow anyone to carry
anything through the temple. 17He was teaching and saying, ‘Is it
not written,
“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations”?
But you have made it a den of robbers.’
18And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept
looking for a way to kill him; for they were afraid of him, because
the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching. 19And when evening
came, Jesus and his disciples* went out of the city.
