Matthew 23:36-38

New Testament for Everyone

³⁶ I’m telling you the solemn truth: it will all come on this generation.

³⁷ “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often have I longed to gather up your children, the way a hen gathers up her brood under her wings, and you didn’t want me to! ³⁸ Now, see here: your house has been abandoned by God; it’s a ruin.
