Luke 13:31-35

Lament over Jerusalem

31Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Leave and go from here, for aHerod wants to kill You.” 32And He said to them, Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I 1,afinish.’ 33Nevertheless aI must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not possible that a bprophet would perish outside of Jerusalem. 34aO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, bjust as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you did not want it! 35Behold, your house is left to you desolate, and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘aBlessed is He who comes in the name of the 1Lord!’”
