Luke 19:45-48

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Cleansing the Temple Complex

⁴⁵ He^(A) went into the temple complex and began to throw out those who were selling,^{[a] 46} and He said, “It is written, My house will be a house of prayer,^(B) but you have made it a den of thieves!”^(C)[b]

⁴⁷ Every day He was teaching^(D) in the temple complex. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people were looking for a way to destroy^(E) Him, ⁴⁸ but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people^(F) were captivated by what they heard.^[c]
