Matthew 23:37-39

Living Bible

³⁷ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones all those God sends to her! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me. ³⁸ And now your house is left to you, desolate. ³⁹ For I tell you this, you will never see me again until you are ready to welcome the one sent to you from God.”^[a]
