Luke 19:46
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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".
