Jesus goes to the temple
15 When they arrived back in Jerusalem, Jesus went into the yard of the temple. People were buying and selling things there. Jesus began to make them all leave that place. Some men were changing coins there for people. He pushed over their tables. And he pushed over the seats of the men who sold birds.
11:15Only priests went into the temple. Other people could go into the yards that were around it.
11:15People had to use special money at the temple.
11:15There was a market in one of the yards. People could buy animals there.
16 Jesus would not let anyone carry things through that place. 17 While he was teaching the people, Jesus said, ‘The Bible says, “God's house will be a place where people from all countries pray.” But you have changed it into a place where robbers meet.’
