Luke

Luke 19:45–48

⁴⁵Then Jesus entered the temple courts^f and began to drive out those who were selling there. ⁴⁶He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’^g But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’^h”

⁴⁷Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him. ⁴⁸Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
