12After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.
13The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:
15And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;
16And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.
17And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.
18Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?
