Open this scene in the reader →12And Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all those selling and buying in the temple courts, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
13And he says to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers.”
14And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.
16And they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” But Jesus says to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”
17And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and stayed there overnight.
