his friend Lazarus. In his lament, Jesus states: "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation." Lutheran biblical scholar Johann Bengel contrasts Jesus' reaction with the immediately preceding scene of rejoicing: Behold before thee the compassionate King, amidst the very shouts of joy raised by His disciples! Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, and yet compels no man by force. The Jerusalem Bible suggests that "your peace" is a reference to "the peace of the messianic age". Verse 28 When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. In many translations, Jesus went on "ahead", i.e. "in front of" his disciples. Erasmus, Kypke, Kuinoel, Heinrich Ewald and others translate as "He went forwards", i.e. he pursued his journey, cf. the God's Word to the Nations translation, "he continued on his way". Jesus in the Temple (19:41-48) Verse 46 [Jesus] Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. In expelling the dealers from the Temple, Jesus' words draw from both Isaiah 56:7 (a house of prayer for all nations) and Jeremiah 7:11 (a den of thieves). Matthew 21:13 and Mark 11:17 have the same quotations. Verse 47 And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him. Luke reiterates at and that Jesus taught in the Temple on a daily basis. Verse 48 and [they] were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him. Literally, the people “were hanging from him”, i.e. hung on His lips. The Jerusalem Bible translates this as "the people as a whole hung on his words".
