Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 19
⁴⁴ and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
⁴⁵ Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling,
⁴⁶ saying to them, "It is written, ’AND MY HOUSE SHALL BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER,’ but you have made it a ROBBERS’ DEN."
⁴⁷ And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him,
⁴⁸ and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.
Luke 20
¹ On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him,
² and they spoke, saying to Him, "Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?"
³ Jesus answered and said to them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me:
⁴ Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?"
⁵ They reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, ’From heaven,’ He will say, ’Why did you not believe him?’
⁶ But if we say, ’From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet."
