Thematic Bible: Judgments upon the jews

Next day, while they were walking over from Bethany, He felt hungry. Now in the distance He saw a fig tree covered with leaves, and He went up to it to see if He might find some figs on it, but when He got to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs. So He spoke to it and said, "Never again may anyone eat a fig from you!" And His disciples were listening to it.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! The city that has kept on murdering the prophets, and stoning those who have been sent to her, how often I have yearned to gather your children around me, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you refused! Now your house is abandoned by me! For I tell you, you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
