Answer:

Money lenders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The book of Matthews and Luke talks about Jesus Christ and his ministry. One such instance was when he went with his disciples to the temple court and saw what had been done to the holy and sacred place.

Matthew 21:13 states "My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it 'a den of robbers". Luke 19:46 also mentions the same scene, "My house will be a house of prayer'; but you have made it 'a den of robbers." This was directed at the money changers, the ones doing business, selling doves and other animals for the sacrifices to be given to the priests.

Thus, the correct answer is money lenders.
