Matthew 21:12-17 (New International Version)
Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a 'den of robbers."
The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they were indignant.
"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him.
"Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read,
" 'From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise'?"
And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.
The Lord Jesus Christ healed everyone who came with a sincere need to be healed.He prayed for them all.To the insincere, he chased them away and told them you didn't come to a place where prayer takes place for those in need of God's interference in their lives but you came, to steal,kill and destroy.He identified them as robbers.
Prayer and praise to God comes through the humble and seeking ones.To those not, He didn't want to have anything to do with them.He told them, you do not want to know the requirements of God the Father, but you want to do your own things here."Go away",he chased them. This is not the place for you,He told them strictly.
