To the dove-sellers he said, “Get these out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace.”
In context
14In the temple he found the sellers of oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting at their business. 15He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple, sheep and oxen alike; he scattered the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16To the dove-sellers he said, “Get these out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace.” 17His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” 18At this the Jews responded, “What sign can you show us for doing these things?”
