40. But answering, Yeshua said, “I tell you that if these keep silent, the stones will shout out!”
41. As He drew near and saw Jerusalem, He wept over her,
42. saying, “If only you had recognized this day the things that lead to shalom! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43. For the days will come upon you when your enemies will surround you with barricades and hem you in on all sides.
44. And they will smash you to the ground—you and your children within you. And they won’t leave within you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
45. Then Yeshua entered the Temple and began to drive out the merchants,
46. saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’”
47. And He was teaching every day in the Temple. The ruling kohanim and the Torah scholars, even the leaders of the people, were trying to destroy Him;
48. but they could not find any way to do it, because all the people were hanging on His words.
