Luke 13:31-35

Lament over Jerusalem

31 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from z here, for a Herod wants to kill you." 32 And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day b I finish my course. 33 Nevertheless, c I d must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that e a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.' 34 f O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that g kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! h How often would I have i gathered j your children together k as a hen gathers her brood l under her wings, and m you would not! 35 Behold, n your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, o 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
