Luke 19:37-44
New Living Translation
37 When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.
38 “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”[a]
39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!”
40 He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. 42 “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. 43 Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. 44 They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.[b]”

New International Version
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(A) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(C)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(D)
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(E)
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(F) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(G) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(H) They will not leave one stone on another,(I) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(J) to you.”
