Jesus entered into
the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the
temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables and the seats of those
who sold the doves. He
said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be
called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of
robbers!" The blind and the
lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and
the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who
were crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of
David!" they were indignant, and said to him, "Do you
hear what these are saying?"
Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out
of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected
praise?'" He left them, and
went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
