Luke 19:41

GriefGod's love

39 But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

40 “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

42 and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.
