To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

The verses around it, from John 2.
12 After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
13 When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15 So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16 To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
18 On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
20 “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
