Matthew 23:37-39

Lament over Jerusalem

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling! ¹

38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. ^[a]

39 For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ^[b]”
