(126) Jesus Laments Over Jerusalem
Luke 13:31-35
[31]That same day some Pharisees came up, saying to Him, “Get out and leave this place, for Herod will kill you.”
[32]But He said to them, “You go and tell that fox, ‘Look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ [33]Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow, and the following day; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
[34]“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem. You kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you. How often I have wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you would not let me!
[35]“Look, your house is left to you desolate. And truly I tell you, you shall not see me until the time comes when you will say: Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”[1]
(126) Jesus Laments Over Jerusalem
Luke 13:31-35, KJV
31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
