Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold wise men came from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews?

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him.

Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan,

And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis, and Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees who were of Jerusalem, saying,

From that time Jesus began to shew his disciples, That he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart in the way and said to them,

Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives,

And as he came into Jerusalem, all the city was in a commotion, saying, Who is this?

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a bird gathereth her young under her wings; and ye would not!
