Matthew 21:14
What happened was a riddle: when the Jews were cast out of the temple with the typological sacrifices, the blind and lame are healed — a type of the nations. And let those who sell the Spirit’s gifts and the priesthood also learn that the Lord cast the sellers of pigeons out of the temple with a scourge, and let them stop gathering profits for themselves from ordinations (Matthew 21:14).
Greek
Αἴνιγμα ἦν τὸ γεγονός, ὅτι τῶν 29 Ἰουδαίων ἐκβληθέντων ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ σὺν ταῖς τυπικαῖς θυσίαις οἱ τυφλοὶ καὶ χωλοὶ θεραπεύονται οἱ τύπον ἔχοντες τῶν ἐθνῶν. μαθέτωσαν μέντοι καὶ οἱ πωλοῦντες καὶ τὰ τοῦ πνεύματος χαρίσματα καὶ τὴν ἱερωσύνην, ὅτι τοὺς πωλοῦντας τὰς περιστερὰς ἐξέβαλεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ναοῦ μαστίξας ὁ κύριος καὶ παυσά σθωσαν πόρους ἑαυτοῖς ἀπὸ χειροτονιῶν ἀθροίζοντες.
