Matthew 21:12

Context
Cleansing the Temple

21:12 Then 1  Jesus entered the temple area 2  and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple courts, 3  and turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 tn Grk “the temple.”

sn The merchants (those who were selling) would have been located in the Court of the Gentiles.

3 tn Grk “the temple.”

sn Matthew (here, 21:12-27), Mark (11:15-19) and Luke (19:45-46) record this incident of the temple cleansing at the end of Jesus’ ministry. John (2:13-16) records a cleansing of the temple at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. See the note on the word temple courts in John 2:14 for a discussion of the relationship of these accounts to one another.
