John 2:14
Douay-Rheims
And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
Augustine of Hippo
(Tr. x. c. 4) Such sacrifices were prescribed to the people, in condescension to their carnal minds; to prevent them from turning aside to idols. They sacrificed sheep, and oxen, and doves.
