³⁶And as^* he was going along, they were spreading out their cloaks on the road. ³⁷Now as^* he was drawing near by this time to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen, ³⁸saying,

“Blessed is the king,

the one who comes in the name of the Lord!ⁱ

Peace in heaven

and glory in the highest!”

³⁹And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” ⁴⁰And he answered and^* said, “I tell you that^j if these keep silent, the stones will cry out!”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

⁴¹And when he approached and^* saw the city, he wept over it, ⁴²saying, “If you had known on this day—even you—the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment^k against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions. ⁴⁴And they will raze you to the ground, you and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, because^l you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
