Description

Jesus stands in the temple courts with commanding authority, overturning the commerce that has filled the house of prayer. Tables and cages are thrown aside, coins scatter across the floor, doves are released into the air, and merchants hurry away carrying their goods. The red mantle over Christ’s white robe draws the eye to His outstretched hand as He drives out those who have turned worship into profit.

This scene portrays the Cleansing of the Temple, when Jesus confronted the money changers and sellers in Jerusalem. The event reveals His zeal for true worship and His authority over the temple as the Son of God. The scattered coins, bird cages, and fleeing sellers emphasize the contrast between religious commerce and holy reverence. This artwork is well suited for teaching on repentance, worship, righteous anger, stewardship, and the sanctity of God’s house.

Scriptures	John 2:13-17 Luke 19:45-46 Mark 11:15-17 Matthew 21:12-13 John 2 13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” Luke 19 45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.” Mark 11 15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” Matthew 21 12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”
