41 And when he came near and saw the city, his tears flowed for it, 42 and he said: “Would that you knew in this day [the things] that lead to peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes [dual]. 43 For [there] will come days when your enemies will surround you with a palisade and will press towards you from all directions, 44 and they will throw you and your children to earth, and they will not allow [any] stone to remain upon a stone in you, since you did not know the time when you were inspected!”
45 And coming into the temple he began to throw out [those] who sold [things], 46 saying to them: “It has been written: 'And my house will be a house of prayer', but you make it a cave of robbers!”
47 And he taught every day in the temple. But the chielf priests and the scribes and the prominent ones of the people sought to destroy him, 48 and yet they did not find what to do [lit. what they were going to do], for the entire people stuck to him to listen.
