36 And as he rode along, they (A)spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—(B)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice (C)for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, (D)“Blessed is (E)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and (F)glory in the highest!” 39 (G)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, (H)the very stones would cry out.”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 (I)And when he drew near and saw the city, (J)he wept over it, 42 saying, (K)“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now (L)they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For (M)the days will come upon you, when your enemies (N)will set up a barricade around you and (O)surround you and hem you in on every side 44 (P)and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And (Q)they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know (R)the time of your (S)visitation.”
