44. And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
45. And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold in it, and those who bought,
46. saying to them: "It is written: 'My house is a house of prayer.' But you have made it into a den of robbers."
