John 2:16

16 He told those who sold pigeons, "Pick up this stuff, and get it out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"

John 2:16 In-Context

14 He found those who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons in the temple courtyard. He also found moneychangers sitting there.
15 He made a whip from small ropes and threw everyone with their sheep and cattle out of the temple courtyard. He dumped the moneychangers' coins and knocked over their tables.
16 He told those who sold pigeons, "Pick up this stuff, and get it out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"
17 His disciples remembered that Scripture said, "Devotion for your house will consume me."
18 The Jews reacted by asking Jesus, "What miracle can you show us to justify what you're doing?"
