They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.” 45He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, 46saying to them,“It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!” 47He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him. 48They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
