The Passover of the Jews was near,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
In the temple he found people
selling cattle, sheep, and doves,
and the money changers
seated at their tables.
Making a whip of cords,
he drove all of them out of the temple
"Take these things out of here!
Stop making my Father's house
a marketplace!"

(March 23rd, 2003; Third Sunday of Lent. John 2: 13 - 25)
