Jesus’s Love for Jerusalem
41 As he approached and saw the city, he wept(A) for it, 42 saying, “If you knew(B) this day what would bring peace—but now it is hidden(C) from your eyes. 43 For the days will come on you(D) when your enemies will build a barricade around you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.(E) 44 They will crush you and your children among you to the ground,(F) and they will not leave one stone on another(G) in your midst, because you did not recognize the time when God visited you.”(H)
