To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"

 No two of the evangelists give Jesus' words in precisely the same way. They all remembered their own version. It is only by putting all the accounts together that we get a true picture of what Jesus said. So then let us set down the different ways in which the writers report the words of Jesus. Matthew gives them as: "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers" ( Matthew 21:13). Mark has it: "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations. But you have made it a den of robbers" ( Mark 11:17). Luke has it: "My house shall be a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers" ( Luke 19:46). John has it: "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade" ( John 2:16).
