Luke 19:35-45

Listen to Luke 19:35-45

35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.

36 And as he rode along, they ¹spread their cloaks on the road.

37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives— ²the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice ³for all the mighty works that they had seen,

38 saying, ⁴“Blessed is ⁵the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and ⁶glory in the highest! ”

39 ⁷And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples. ”

40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, ⁸the very stones would cry out. ”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 ⁹And when he drew near and saw the city, ¹⁰he wept over it,

42 saying, ¹¹“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now ¹²they are hidden from your eyes.

43 For ¹³the days will come upon you, when your enemies ¹⁴will set up a barricade around you and ¹⁵surround you and hem you in on every side

44 ¹⁶and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ¹⁷they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ¹⁸the time of your ¹⁹visitation. ”
