13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand and Jesus went to Jerusalem.
14 He found the merchants who sold oxen, sheep and doves. The moneychangers were sitting nearby.
15 He made a whip of cords, and chased them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the oxen. He poured out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned the tables.
16 He told those who sold doves: »Take these things away. Do not make my Fathers house a house of merchandise.«
17 His disciples remembered what was written. Zeal for your house shall eat me up. (Psalm 69:9)
