Jn 2:13-16
Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. as well as the money-changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace.".
