Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved (defy God and denied the truth), by the tongue of David, and Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and they persistently overstepped the limits. They did not forbid one another from committing wrongdoings. Evil indeed was what they did!
— Quran, Al-Ma`idah (The Table Spread with Food), 5:78-79
Excerpts from the Gospel of Matthew:
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
(Mark 11:15–19; Luke 19:45–48; John 2:12–25)
12Then Jesus entered the temple courtse and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves. 13And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’f But you are making it ‘a den of thieves.’g”
14The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them. 15But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
16“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked.
“Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read:
‘From the mouths of children and infants
You have ordained praise’h?”
17Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
