Matthew 21:12-14
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Lets take it line by line:

HE CAST OUT ALL THEM THAT BOUGHT AND SOLD N THE TEMPLE:4 whateva reason they bought and sold he threw them out.Sum were N the courtyard and he was against that as well.Corruption can ease n2 your church by many different means so.....
AND OVERTHREW THE TABLES OF THE MONEY CHANGERS:
So with the and bein there we C that there were those who bought and sold in addition to the money changers,of whom whose tables heoverturned.Jesus didn gather up the money and keep it 4 himself,he scattered it,threw it 2 the ground,wanted nothing 2 do with it.
He said"IT IS WRITTEN": keep your eyes on the scriptures.This is what we must follow.
MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER:Here Jesus explained why he wuz so upset,he said this temple is 2 B used for prayer.Which is the base of any and all ceremonies to B held here.
