45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,
45 Going into the Temple he began to throw out everyone who had set up shop, selling everything and anything.
45 Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
45 Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 19:45
Commentary on Luke 19:41-48
(Read Luke 19:41-48)
Who can behold the holy Jesus, looking forward to the miseries that awaited his murderers, weeping over the city where his precious blood was about to be shed, without seeing that the likeness of God in the believer, consists much in good-will and compassion? Surely those cannot be right who take up any doctrines of truth, so as to be hardened towards their fellow-sinners. But let every one remember, that though Jesus wept over Jerusalem, he executed awful vengeance upon it. Though he delights not in the death of a sinner, yet he will surely bring to pass his awful threatenings on those who neglect his salvation. The Son of God did not weep vain and causeless tears, nor for a light matter, nor for himself. He knows the value of souls, the weight of guilt, and how low it will press and sink mankind. May he then come and cleanse our hearts by his Spirit, from all that defiles. May sinners, on every side, become attentive to the words of truth and salvation.
