Matthew 21:12–17

¹²Then Jesus entered the temple courts^e and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves. ¹³And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’^f But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’^g”

¹⁴The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them. ¹⁵But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

¹⁶“Do You hear what these children are saying?” they asked.

“Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read:

‘From the mouths of children and infants

You have ordained praise’^h?”

¹⁷Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
