Matthew 21:12-17
New Life Version
Jesus Stops the Buying and the Selling in the House of God (A)
12 Then Jesus went into the house of God and made all those leave who were buying and selling there. He turned over the tables of the men who changed money. He turned over the seats of those who sold doves. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house is to be called a house of prayer.’ You have made it a place of robbers.” (B)
14 The blind and those who could not walk came to Jesus in the house of God and He healed them. 15 The religious leaders of the Jews and the teachers of the Law saw the great things He did. They heard the children calling in the house of God and saying, “Greatest One! Son of David!” The leaders were very angry. 16 They said to Jesus, “Do you hear what these children are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes, have you not read the writings, ‘Even little children and babies will honor Him’?” 17 Jesus left them and went out of the city to the town of Bethany. He stayed there that night.

You have made it a place of robbers.”
18 The teachers of the Law and the religious leaders of the Jews heard it. They tried to find some way to put Jesus to death. But they were afraid of Him because all the people were surprised and wondered about His teaching. 19 When evening came, Jesus and His followers went out of the city.
