and cast out all them that sold and
bought in the temple, and overthrew the
tables of the moneychangers, and the seats
of them that sold doves,
And said
unto
them,
it is
written,
My house
shall be
called the
house of
prayer;
but ye have made it a den of thieves."
Matthew 21:12-13
Three years before, Jesus, at the beginning
of His ministry had entered the temple and
cleansed it by driving out the cattle and the
moneychangers.
Again He found that greed had won out and
the court was filled with the same activities.
After all the commotion was over, Jesus back
to begin teaching.
