41
As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it
42
and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.
43
The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
44
They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”
20
“When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.
21
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.
22
For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written.
23
How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.
24
They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
47
and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48
You are witnesses of these things.
49
I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
4
and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years.
2
Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
32
They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him.
33
“We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles,
34
who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”
1
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
2
saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
3
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’ ”
4
They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it,
5
some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
6
They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.
7
When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.
8
Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.
9
Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
11
Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
1
As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”
2
“Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
1
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem
2
and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
35
or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
21
From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
17
Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them,
18
“We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death
19
and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”
1
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
2
saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3
If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4
This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5
“Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”
6
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
7
They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.
8
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
37
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.
1
Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.
2
“Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
53
They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
3
They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”
4
When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.
17
Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.”
27
At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from where they lived and were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of cymbals, harps and lyres.
1
Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2
Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
18
May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
1
O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
3
Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
4
That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the LORD— to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel.
5
There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
5
May the LORD bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
5
If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.
6
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
2
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.
12
The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.
2
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
10
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
23
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24
The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
3
No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
4
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5
There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
25
Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord’s people there.
26
For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.
14
Then the angel who was speaking to me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,
15
and I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they went too far with the punishment.’
16
“Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. And the measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem,’ declares the LORD Almighty.
17
“Proclaim further: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’ ”
4
and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it.
5
And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will be its glory within.’
3
This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.”
22
And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD Almighty and to entreat him.”
9
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
4
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
16
Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
14
Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem!
15
The LORD has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.
16
On that day they will say to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.
17
The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
