³⁶And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way, ³⁷and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen, ³⁸saying, ‘blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.’ ³⁹And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, ‘Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;’ ⁴⁰and he answering said to them, ‘I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!’

⁴¹And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it, ⁴²saying—‘If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.

⁴³‘Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side, ⁴⁴and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.’
