Context of Matthew 21:11

9Many crowds of people went in front of Jesus and other people followed him. All of them were shouting, ‘We praise the Son of David! May the Lord God bless the king who comes with his authority! We praise God in heaven above!’ 10When Jesus went into Jerusalem, everybody in the city had trouble in their minds. They were asking each other, ‘Who is this man?’ The people in the crowd replied, ‘This is God's prophet, Jesus. He comes from Nazareth in Galilee.’ 12Jesus then went into the yard of the temple. People were buying and selling things there. Jesus made them all leave that place. He pushed over the tables of the men who changed coins. He also pushed over the seats of the men who sold birds. 13Jesus spoke to them all. He said, ‘The Bible says, “God's house will be a place where people come together to pray.” But you have changed it into a place where robbers meet.’
