39. Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell your followers not to say these things.”
40. But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if my followers didn’t say these things, then the stones would cry out.”
41. As Jesus came near Jerusalem, he saw the city and cried for it,
42. saying, “I wish you knew today what would bring you peace. But now it is hidden from you.
43. The time is coming when your enemies will build a wall around you and will hold you in on all sides.
44. They will destroy you and all your people, and not one stone will be left on another. All this will happen because you did not recognize the time when God came to save you.”
