Luke 19:46-48
Amplified Bible
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a robbers’ den.”(A)
47 He was teaching day after day in the temple [porches and courts]; but the chief priests and scribes and the leading men among the people were seeking [a way] to put Him to death, 48 and they could not find anything that they could do, for all the people [stayed close to Him and] were hanging on to [a]every word He said.
