37. And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen,
38. saying: "Blessed is the king who has arrived in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!"
39. And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40. And he said to them, "I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out."
41. And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
42. "If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43. For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.
44. And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
