Luke 19:45-48

Traders Driven from the Temple

45 ¹Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling,

46 saying to them, "It is written, '²AND MY HOUSE SHALL BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER,' ³but you have made it a ROBBERS' DEN."

47 And ⁴He was teaching daily * in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people ⁵were trying to destroy Him,

48 and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.
