Luke 19:46

Saying unto them, it is written ,.... In Isaiah 56:7

my house is the house of prayer ; built and devoted for that service:

but ye have made it a den of thieves ; which clause is not written in the above prophecy, but are the words of Christ referring to Jeremiah 7:11 . The Ethiopic version adds, "and robbers"; and the Persic version adds, "and a place of cut-purses"; See Gill on Matthew 21:13 .
