Luke 19:45-48

Jesus clears the temple

45 When Jesus entered the temple, he threw out those who were selling things there.

46 He said to them, " It's written, My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hideout for crooks."

47 Jesus was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests, the legal experts, and the foremost leaders among the people were seeking to kill him.

48 However, they couldn't find a way to do it because all the people were enthralled with what they heard.
