Luke 19:47

45 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.

46 He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

48 Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
