When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,
Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
In the temple courts
he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves,
and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
So he made a whip out of cords,
and drove all from the temple area,
both sheep and cattle;
he scattered the coins of the money changers
and overturned their tables.
To those who sold doves he said,
"Get these out of here!
How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"
~ John 2
