Luke 19:43-48

43 For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions.

44 And they will raze you to the ground, [you] and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, {because} you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

The Cleansing of the Temple

45 And he entered into the temple [courts] [and] began to drive out those who were selling,

46 saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a cave of robbers!"

47 And he was teaching every day in the temple [courts], and the chief priests and the scribes and the most prominent men of the people were seeking to destroy him.

48 And they did not find anything they could do, because all the people were paying close attention to [what] they were hearing from him.
