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

And he told those who sold the pigeons,“ Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.”

Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them,“ Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!”

He told those who were selling doves,“ Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!”

and to those who were selling the doves He said,“ Take these things away from here; stop making My Father’s house a place of business!”

And He said to those who sold doves,“ Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

He told those who were selling doves,“ Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.

To those who sold the doves he said,“ Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”

To those who sold the doves, he said,“ Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”

He said to them,“ It is written that the Lord said,‘ My house will be called a house where people can pray.’( Isaiah 56:7) But you are making it‘ a den for robbers.’ ”( Jeremiah 7:11)

“ Why were you looking for me?” he asked.“ Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”

My Name is in this house. But you have made it a den for robbers! I have been watching you!” announces the Lord.

Then I will set up a monument in the area of my temple. Their names will be written on it. That will be better for them than having sons and daughters. The names of the eunuchs will be remembered forever. They will never be forgotten.“ Suppose outsiders want to follow me and serve me. They want to love me and worship me. They keep the Sabbath day and do not misuse it. And they are faithful in keeping my covenant.Then I will bring them to my holy mountain of Zion. I will give them joy in my house. They can pray there. I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices on my altar. My house will be called a house where people from all nations can pray.”The Lord and King will gather those who were taken away from their homes in Israel. He announces,“ I will gather them to myself. And I will gather others to join them.”Come, all you enemy nations! Come like wild animals. Come and destroy like animals in the forest.Israel’s prophets are blind. They don’t know the Lord. All of them are like watchdogs that can’t even bark. They just lie around and dream. They love to sleep.They are like dogs that love to eat. They never get enough. They are like shepherds who don’t have any understanding. All of them do as they please. They only look for what they can get for themselves.

Then he taught them. He told them,“ It is written that the Lord said,‘ My house will be called a house where people from all nations can pray.’( Isaiah 56:7) But you have made it a‘ den for robbers.’ ”( Jeremiah 7:11)

They stare at women who are not their wives. They want to sleep with them. They never stop sinning. They trap those who are not firm in their faith. They have mastered the art of getting what they want. God has placed them under his judgment.They have left God’s way. They have wandered off. They follow the way of Balaam, son of Beor. He loved to get paid for doing his evil work.

Jesus defended himself. He said to them,“ My Father is always doing his work. He is working right up to this day. I am working too.”

These teachers are never satisfied. They want to get something out of you. So they make up stories to take advantage of you. They have been under a sentence of death for a long time. The God who will destroy them has not been sleeping.

You are like a trader who uses dishonest scales. You love to cheat others.People of Ephraim, you brag,“ We are very rich. We’ve become wealthy. And no one can prove we sinned to gain all this wealth.”

Jesus said,“ Do not hold on to me. I have not yet ascended to the Father. Instead, go to those who believe in me. Tell them,‘ I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”

There was a man named Demetrius who made things out of silver. He made silver models of the temple of the goddess Artemis. He brought in a lot of business for the other skilled workers there.One day he called them together. He also called others who were in the same kind of business.“ My friends,” he said,“ you know that we make good money from our work.You have seen and heard what this fellow Paul is doing. He has talked to large numbers of people here in Ephesus. Almost everywhere in Asia Minor he has led people away from our gods. He says that the gods made by human hands are not gods at all.Our work is in danger of losing its good name. People’s faith in the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be weakened. Now she is worshiped all over Asia Minor and the whole world. But soon she will be robbed of her greatness.”

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anyone. No one can steal them out of my Father’s hand.

It stirs up trouble all the time among people whose minds are twisted by sin. The truth they once had has been taken away from them. They think they can get rich by being godly.

“ I am not controlled by a demon,” said Jesus.“ I honor my Father. You do not honor me.
