Jerusalem » Destruction of, foretold by jesus
And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day in which Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. In like manner also, as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; read more.
but in the day in which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed. In that day, let not him that is on the house-top, and whose goods are in the house, come down to take them away. Likewise, he that is in the field, let him not turn back. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever will seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life, shall save it. I say to you, on that night two men shall be in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said to him. Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.

When, therefore, you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that reads understand;)

And when he came near, he looked upon the city, and wept over it, saying: Hadst thou known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which were for thy peace! But now, they are hid from thy eyes. For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will throw up a mound about thee, and inclose thee around, and keep thee in on every side, read more.

But when you shall see Jerusalem besieged by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of it, withdraw from it. Let those who are in the count try, not come within it. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things that are written may be fulfilled. read more.
But alas for them that are with child, and for them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive among all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest those who are sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children together, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, and you refused. Behold, your house is left to you deserted.
But when you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the house-top go down into his house, nor enter in to take any thing from his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his mantle. read more.
But alas for those who are with child, and for those who give suck in those days. And pray that your flight may not be in the winter. For these will be the days of affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created, till this time, and will never be. And unless the Lord had made those days few, no flesh could be saved: but for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen, he has made those days few. And then, if any one say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or, Lo! there; believe him not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. But do you take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and was not able to raise herself up at all. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her: Woman, you are released from your infirmity. read more.
And he laid his hands on her; and she immediately stood erect, and glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath-day, answered and said to the multitude: There are six days in which work ought to be done; on these, therefore, come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. Then the Lord answered him and said: Hypocrites, does not each one of you, on the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass from the stable, and lead him away, and give him water? And ought not this woman, who is a daughter of Abra ham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced on account of all the glorious things that were done by him. Then he said: To what is the kingdom of God like; and to what shall I liken it? It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and sowed in his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the birds of the air roosted in its branches. And again he said: To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened. And he went through every city and village, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem. And a certain man said to him: Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said to them: Strive to enter in through the strait gate; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house has risen, and closed the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence you are; then, you will begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. And he shall say, I tell you, I know you not, whence you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but your selves cast out. And they shall come from the east and the west, and from the north and the south, and shall recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, there are last that shall be first, and there arc first that shall be last. On the same day, certain Pharisees came and said to him: Depart, and get away from this place; for Herod intends to kill you. And he said to them: Go and toll that fox, Be hold, I cast out demons, and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I finish the work. But I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not possible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often have I desired to gather thy children together, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, and you refused. Behold, your house is deserted; and I say to you, You shall not see me till the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
