Jesus' Sorrow for Jerusalem
On that same day,
some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away,
for Herod wants to kill you."
He said to them,
"Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and
perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
Nevertheless I must go
on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a
prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that
kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I
wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood
under her wings, and you refused! Behold, your house is left to
you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is
he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
Luke 13:31-35
