Saying unto them, it is written, etc.] In (<235607>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 (<240711>Jeremiah 7:11). The Ethiopic version adds, “and robbers”; and the Persic version adds, “and a place of cut-purses”; (see Gill on “<402113>Matthew 21:13”).
