Luke 19:41-48

41But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.

42“How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.

43Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.

44They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.”

45Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices.

46He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.”

47After that, he taught daily in the Temple, but the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders of the people began planning how to kill him.

48But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said.
