HE Passover  of  the  Jews  being  now  at  hand,  Jesus  went  up to  Jerusalem  (Fig.  69). Finding in  the  court  of  the  Temple men that  sold  oxen,  sheep  and  doves  for  sacrifice,  together  with money-changers, He  made  a whip  of  small  cords  and  drove  them all out  of  the  Temple. He overthrew  the  money-tables,  and  said to them  that  sold  doves :  “Take  these  things  hence,  and  make not the  house  of  my  Father  a house  of  traffic.”  Then  the  disciples remembered  that  it  was  written:  “The  zeal  of  Thy  house hath eaten  me  up.”
