28. Then when you have been thrown outside, you will weep and grit your teeth because you will see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom.
29. People will come from all directions and sit down to feast in God's kingdom.
30. There the ones who are now least important will be the most important, and those who are now most important will be least important.
31. At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, “You had better get away from here! Herod wants to kill you.”
32. Jesus said to them:Go and tell that fox, “I am going to force out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and three days later I'll have finished.”
33. But I am going on my way today and tomorrow and the next day. After all, Jerusalem is the place where prophets are killed.
34. Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed the prophets and have stoned the messengers who were sent to you. I have often wanted to gather your people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you wouldn't let me.
35. Now your temple will be deserted. You won't see me again until the time when you say,“Blessed is the one who comesin the name of the Lord.”
