Luke 19:46-48

New Century Version

⁴⁶ He said, “It is written in the Scriptures, ‘My Temple will be a house for prayer.’^[a] But you have changed it into a ‘hideout for robbers’!”^[b]

⁴⁷ Jesus taught in the Temple every day. The leading priests, the experts on the law, and some of the leaders of the people wanted to kill Jesus. ⁴⁸ But they did not know how they could do it, because all the people were listening closely to him.
