Jesus and the Moneylenders � Mark 11:15-17 (NLT)

When they arrived back in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people buying and selling animals for sacrifices. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves, and he stopped everyone from using the Temple as a marketplace. He said to them, �The Scriptures declare, �My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations,� but you have turned it into a den of thieves.�
