John 2:14-18 New International Version (NIV)

14. In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.

15. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

16. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”

17. His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

18. The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
