Luke 19:41-48
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

41 (A)As he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,(B) 42 saying, “If this day you only knew what makes for peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.(C) 43 [a]For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides.(D) 44 They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”(E)

The Cleansing of the Temple. 45 (F)Then Jesus entered the temple area[b] and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things,(G) 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.’”(H) 47 And every day he was teaching in the temple area.(I) The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death,(J) 48 but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.

  2. 19:45–46 Immediately upon entering the holy city, Jesus in a display of his authority enters the temple (see Mal 3:1–3) and lays claim to it after cleansing it that it might become a proper place for his teaching ministry in Jerusalem (Lk 19:47; 20:1; 21:37; 22:53). See Mt 21:12–17; Mk 11:15–19; Jn 2:13–17 and the notes there.
