Explained connections

• A house of prayer for all nations Isaiah 56:7 and Mark 11:17

  Isaiah promises foreigners a welcome in God's house, a house of prayer for all peoples. Clearing traders from the temple's Gentile court, Jesus quotes it — only Mark keeps 'for all nations'.

• A den of robbers Jeremiah 7:11 and Mark 11:17

  In his temple sermon Jeremiah accused Judah of treating the temple as a hideout where wrongdoers felt safe, and warned of its destruction. Jesus' combined quotation implies a similar warning for Herod's temple.
