Cleansing the Temple Complex

15 They came to Jerusalem, and He went into the temple complex and began to throw out those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves, 16 and would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple complex.

17 Then He began to teach them: “Is it not written,My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations?[a] But you have made it a den of thieves!”[b] 18 Then the chief priests and the scribesheard it and started looking for a way to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished by His teaching.

19 And whenever evening came, they would go out of the city.

Luke 19:45-48 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Cleansing the Temple Complex

45 He went into the temple complex and began to throw out those who were selling,[a] 46 and He said,“It is written, My house will be a house of prayer,but you have made it a den of thieves!”[b]

47 Every day He was teaching in the temple complex. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people were looking for a way to destroy Him, 48 but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were captivated by what they heard.[c]

 

John 2:13-25 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Cleansing the Temple Complex

13 The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple complex He found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and He also found the money changers sitting there. 15 After making a whip out of cords, He drove everyone out of the temple complex with their sheep and oxen. He also poured out the money changers’ coins and overturned the tables. 16 He told those who were selling doves, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father’s house into a marketplace!”[a]

17 And His disciples remembered that it is written:Zeal for Your house will consume Me.[b]

18 So the Jews replied to Him, “What sign of authority will You show us for doing these things?”

19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it up in three days.”

20 Therefore the Jews said, “This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?”

21 But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

23 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many trusted in His name when they saw the signs He was doing. 24 Jesus, however, would not entrust Himself to them, since He knew them all 25 and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man.

Evidently more things happened at this festival than is mentioned here.  

in John 2
23 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many trusted in His name when they saw the signs He was doing.

in John 4
45 When they entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him because they had seen everything He did in Jerusalem during the festival.For they also had gone to the festival.
