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. in Joan. c. 4) So that temple was still a figure only, and our Lord cast out of it all who came to it as a market. And what did they sell? Things that were necessary for the sacrifice of that time. What if He had found men drunken? If the house of God ought not to be a house of merchandize, ought it to be a house of drunkenness?
