John 2:14-17 There in the Temple area He found people selling oxen, sheep and pigeons. i.e., for use as sacrifices. Also cashiers were sitting there. Note: These people exchanged foreign coins so visitors to Jerusalem could make purchases and pay taxes.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ There in the Temple [area] He found people selling oxen, sheep and pigeons. [i.e., for use as sacrifices]. Also cashiers were sitting there. [Note: These people exchanged foreign coins so visitors to Jerusalem could make purchases and pay taxes]. ¹⁵ Then Jesus made a whip out of strands of rope and drove all of the sheep and oxen out of the Temple [area], dumped out the cashiers’ money and overturned their tables. ¹⁶ He said to those who were selling the pigeons, “Take these things out of here, and quit making my Father’s house [i.e., the Temple] a merchandise mart.” ¹⁷ Then Jesus’ disciples remembered that it was written [Psa. 69:9], “Enthusiasm for Your [i.e., God’s] house [i.e., the Temple] will consume me.”
