!John 2:13-25.
Azon időben a zsidók húsvétjának közeledtével Jézus fölment Jeruzsálembe. A templomban kalmárokat talált, akik ökröt, juhot és galambot árultak És így tovább.

Homily by St Austin, Bishop (of H ippo.)
!1 oth Tract on John.
What hear we now, my brethren? Behold, that temple was still but a figure, and the Lord drove out therefrom all them that sought their own, even them that were come to deal in merchandise. And what was it that they sold there? Only such things as were needful to men for the sacrifices that then were. For your love knoweth that, because of that people's carnal-mindedness and the stoniness of their heart, there were commanded unto them such sacrifices as these, thereby to hold them back from idolatry and there, according, they offered up oxen, and sheep, and doves. This ye have read, and know.
