Luke 19:41-48 ▼

41 And when He came near, having seen the city, He wept over it,

42 saying, “If you knew, even you, at least in this your day, the things for your peace; but now they were hid from your eyes.

43 Because days will come on you, and your enemies will cast a rampart around you, and surround you around, and press you on every side,

44 and lay you low, and your children within you, and they will not leave in you a stone on a stone, because you did not know the time of your inspection.”

45 And having entered into the temple, He began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,

46 saying to them, “It has been written, My house is a house of prayer—but you made it a den of robbers.”

47 And He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy Him—also the chiefs of the people—

48 and they were not finding what they will do, for all the people were hanging on Him, hearing Him.
