Matthew 23:37-39 - The Lament Over Jerusalem

³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee: how often would I have gathered thy children together, as the hen gathereth her chicks under her wings? But ye would not. ³⁸ Behold, Your habitation shall be left unto you desolate. ³⁹ For I say unto you, ye shall not see me henceforth, till that ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."

³¹ The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, and said unto him, "Get thee out of the way, 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 heal the people today and tomorrow, and the third day I make an end. ³³ Nevertheless, I must walk today and tomorrow, and the day following: For it cannot be, that a prophet perish any other where, save at Jerusalem.

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often would I have gathered thy children together, as the hen gathereth her nest under her wings, but ye would not. ³⁵ Behold, your habitation shall be left unto you desolate. For I tell you, Ye shall not see me until the time come that ye shall say, 'Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.'"
