Theophylact of Ohrid
Catena Aurea · Lukasevangelium 19
Lk 19, Verses 45–48English original
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. And he taught daily in the temple. But the Chief Priests and the Scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
The same thing our Lord did also at the beginning of His preaching, as John relates; and now He did it a second time, because the crime of the Jews was much increased by their not having been chastened by the former warning.
