Mark 11:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 And he did not permit anyone to carry objects[a] through the temple courts.[b] 17 And he began to teach[c] and was saying to them, “Is it not written,
‘My house will be called a house of prayer
for all the nations,’[d]
but you have made it a cave of robbers!” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it,[e] and began considering[f] how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.
