Exegesis
The participial object is phragellion {φραγέλλιον | phra-gél-li-on} ‘whip’, defined by the genitive ek schoiniōn {ἐκ σχοινίων | ek skhoi-ní-ōn} ‘from cords’, where ek with genitive denotes material source.
The main verb exebalen {ἐξέβαλεν | ex-é-ba-len} ‘he drove out’ governs pantas {πάντας | pán-tas} ‘all’ with the locative phrase ek tou hierou {ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ | ek toû hi-e-roû} ‘out of the temple’.
