Read in context

Luke 19:44–48 · Berean Standard Bible

44 They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

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

46 He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

47 Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

48 Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
