What does the Bible say about Jesus casting people out of the temple?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible records that Jesus forcefully cast out those buying and selling in the temple to restore it as a house of prayer.

In Mark 11, Jesus forcefully casts out those who were buying and selling in the temple, asserting His authority over His Father’s house. He quotes Scripture, stating, 'My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves,' emphasizing that the temple was intended for worship, not commerce. This event is significant in all synoptic accounts because it shows Jesus enforcing the sanctity of God’s house, rejecting those who corrupt it for profit and worship inappropriately. His actions served as a radical reminder that true worship should not be tainted by greed or deceit.
