42. saying, “If you only knew even today, the matters for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43. “Because days shall come upon you when your enemies shall build a rampart around you, and surround you and press you on all sides,
44. and dash you to the ground, and your children within you. And they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
45. And having entered into the Set-apart Place, He began to drive out those selling and buying in it,
46. saying to them, “It has been written, ‘My House is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers.’ ”
47. And He was teaching daily in the Set-apart Place. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy Him,
48. but they did not find what they might do, for all the people were hanging upon Him, listening.
