42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this ayour day, the things that bmake for your cpeace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will abuild an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,
44 aand level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and bthey will not leave in you one stone upon another, cbecause you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45 aThen He went into the temple and began to drive out those who1 bought and sold in it,
46 saying to them, “It is written, a‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a b‘den of thieves.’ ”
47 And He awas teaching daily in the temple. But bthe chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him,
48 and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to ahear Him.
