And said to them: "Scripture says—'My House shall be called a house of prayer'; but you are making it 'a den of robbers.'"
"At Bethlehem in Judea," was their answer; "for it is said in the Prophet--
Then he began to teach. "Does not Scripture say," he asked, "'My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.'"
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
Saying as he did so: "Scripture says--'My House shall be a House of Prayer'; but you have made it 'a den of robbers.'"
And so is fulfilled what is said in their Law--'They hated me without cause.'
