THE CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE.

And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began

to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and

overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that

sold the doves: and he would not suffer that any man should carry a

vessel through the temple. And he taught, and said unto them, "Is it

not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the

nations?' but ye have made it a den of robbers?"

And 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 that were crying in the temple

and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David": they were moved with

indignation, and said unto him, "Hearest thou what these are saying?"

And Jesus saith unto them, "Yea: did ye never read, 'Out of the mouth

of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise'?"

And the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the

people sought to destroy him: and they could not find what they might

do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and

lodged there.
