    Matthew 21:12-13

    12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those that sold doves,

    13 and said to them: It is written: My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you make it a den of robbers.

    So, Jesus showed up at the temple and “cast out” anyone engaged in commerce, calling them robbers.

    Of the four apostles that mention the incident (Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John), only John indicates that a whip was used.

    13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And he found in the temple those that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the moneychangers sitting; 15 and having made a scourge of cords, he drove all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and poured out the money of the money-changers, and overturned the tables; 16 and to those that sold doves he said: Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise. 17 The disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for thy house consumes me.

    The scourge of cords, with scourge meaning “a whip used as an instrument of punishment”.
