Thematic Bible: The destruction of the temple, and jerusalem

And when he saw the city, as he approached, he wept over it, saying, "Would that you too knew even to-day on what your peace depends! But no, it is hidden from you! A time is coming for you when your enemies will throw up ramparts round you and encircle you and besiege you on every side read more.
and raze you and your children within you to the ground, leaving not one stone upon another within you ??and all because you would not understand when God was visiting you." Then he went into the temple and proceeded to drive out those who were selling. "It is written," he told them, "my house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers." Day after day he taught within the temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, and so did the leaders of the people, but they could not discover what was to be done, for the whole of the people hung upon his lips.
