(Lesson 1788)(08-06-16) Luke 19:45-48
"And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him."
Today's quote relates how Jesus was insulted to find that the scribes and chief priests of the Pharisees had turned the only authorized "house of God" into a form of shopping center for items sold for sacrifice. In apparent anger, Jesus through out, what were called, the "money changers".
This event triggered the beginning of the Jews plot to destroy or even kill Jesus.~
