Christ and The Money Changers by Paul Stetsenko — Lyrics
The Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem;
and there, in the Temple he saw men
trading in oxen and sheep and doves and the moneychangers sitting there.
He made a whip and drove them all out of the Temple.

About Christ and The Money Changers
Suitable for services during Lent, Christ and The Money Changers sets a dramatic biblical narrative. Paul Stetsenko’s SATB setting brings to life Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple, a pivotal moment in the Gospel accounts. The text vividly describes the merchants and money-changers at work, Jesus’ forceful intervention with a whip, and his powerful words rebuking them for turning his Father's house into a marketplace. The music reflects the intensity and righteous anger of the event, offering a compelling moment for a choir to explore a significant biblical story through vocal sound. The English text is drawn directly from the New Testament, focusing on the zeal and divine authority of Christ.
