13 And many children came with garlands of sweet flowers and placed them on the Lord, or strewed them in the way, and said, All hail the king! Long live the king!
14 The throne of David shall be built again. Hosanna to the Lord of hosts!
15 Among the throng were Pharisees, who said to Jesus as he passed, Rebuke this noisy throng; it is a shame for them to cry thus in the street.
16 The Lord replied, I tell you, men, if these should hold their peace the very stones would cry aloud.
17 And then the Pharisees conferred among themselves; they said, Our threats are idle words. Behold, for all the world is following him.
18 As Jesus drew a-near Jerusalem he paused and wept, and said, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the holy city of the Jews! yours was the glory of the Lord; but you have cast the Lord away.
19 Your eyes are closed, you cannot see the king; the kingdom of the Lord of heaven and earth has come; you comprehend it not.
20 Behold, the day will come when armies from afar will cast a bank about your way; will compass you about, and hem you in on every side;
21 Will dash you to the ground and slay you and your children in the streets.
22 And of your holy temple, and of your palaces and walls, they will not leave a stone upon a stone, because today you spurn the offers of the God of heaven.
