Anger of Jesus: Cleansing the Temple! Driving Out the Money Changers — Lessons from Luke 19

Luke 19:45-48 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

⁴⁵ Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; ⁴⁶ and he said, “It is written,

‘My house shall be a house of prayer’;
    but you have made it a den of robbers.”

Isaiah 56:7, Jeremiah 7:11

⁴⁷ Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him; ⁴⁸ but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.
