Luke 19:45-48
45 Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ” 47 And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him, 48 and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.
Jesus made it clear that serving God was not about turning a profit from worshippers, but worshipping God in His house. So He then taught God's word and brought anger from those who allowed the abuse. Even then the plots of the religious could not outweigh the people yearning to hear truth. So it was in the Reformation, and so can it be now.
