Luke 19:41-48

41Now when Jesus approached and saw the city, he wept over it,

42saying, “If you had only known on this day, even you, the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.

44They will demolish you – you and your children within your walls – and they will not leave within you one stone on top of another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

45Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling things there,

46saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of robbers!”

47Jesus was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the law and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinate him,

48but they could not find a way to do it, for all the people hung on his words.
