Luke 19:36-44

³⁶As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.

³⁷As he was now approaching the place where the Mount of Olives descends, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

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

³⁹Some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”

⁴⁰Jesus answered and said, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

⁴¹When Jesus approached the city, he wept over it,

⁴²saying, “If only you had known in this day, even you, the things which bring you peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

⁴³For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build a barricade around you, and surround you, and press in on you from every side.

⁴⁴They will strike you down to the ground and your children with you. They will not leave one stone upon another, because you did not recognize it when God was trying to save you.”
