Luke 19:36–44

³⁶And as he rode along, they ^jspread their cloaks on the road. ³⁷As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—^kthe whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice ^lfor all the mighty works that they had seen, ³⁸saying, ^m“Blessed is ⁿthe King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and ^oglory in the highest!” ^39pAnd some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” ⁴⁰He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, ^qthe very stones would cry out.”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

^41rAnd when he drew near and saw the city, ^she wept over it, ⁴²saying, ^t“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now ^uthey are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³For ^vthe days will come upon you, when your enemies ^wwill set up a barricade around you and ^xsurround you and hem you in on every side ^44yand tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ^zthey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^athe time of your ^bvisitation.”
