Lament over Jerusalem
At that very hour some
Pharisees came and said
to Jesus, "Get away from here
for Herod (Antipas) wants to
kill you."
He said to them, "Go and
tell that fox for me, 'Listen,
I am casting out demons and
performing cures today and
tomorrow, and on the third
I finish my work. Yet, today,
tomorrow, and the next day I
must be on my way, because
it is impossible for a prophet
to be killed outside of Jerusalem.'
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the
city that kills the prophets and
stones those who are sent to
it! How often have I desired
to gather your children together
as a hen gathers her brood under
her wings, and you were not
willing! See, your house is left
to you [desolate]. And I tell
you, you will not see me until
the time comes when you
say, 'Blessed is the one who
comes in the name of the Lord'!
