Matthew 23:37-39

Crying over Jerusalem

37 " Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You who kill the prophets and stone those who were sent to you. How often I wanted to gather your people together, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you didn't want that.

38 Look, your house is left to you deserted.

39 I tell you, you won't see me until you say, Blessings on the one who comes in the Lord's name."
