38

6And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples. ”

42
saying, 10“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now 11they are hidden from your eyes.

44
15and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And 16they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know 17the time of your 18visitation. ”
