³⁶And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way. ³⁷And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen, ³⁸saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ³⁹And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.

⁴¹And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, ⁴²saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes; ⁴³for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side, ⁴⁴and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
