³ No, I tell you; but unless you ^(A)repent, you will all likewise perish.

^19 (A)Repent therefore, and ^(B)turn back, that ^(C)your sins may be blotted out,

^2 (A)“Repent, for ^(B)the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”^[a]

²¹ I gave her time to repent, but ^(A)she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. ²² Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,

³⁸ And Peter said to them, ^(A)“Repent and ^(B)be baptized every one of you ^(C)in the name of Jesus Christ ^(D)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^(E)the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For ^(F)the promise is for you and ^(G)for your children and for all ^(H)who are far off, everyone ^(I)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” ⁴⁰ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ^(J)“Save yourselves from this ^(K)crooked generation.”

⁵ No, I tell you; but unless you ^(A)repent, you will all likewise perish.”

²⁸ But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For behold, ^(A)the days are coming when they will say, ^(B)‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ ^30 (C)Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’

²² for these are ^(A)days of ^(B)vengeance, to fulfill ^(C)all that is written. ^23 (D)Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and ^(E)wrath against this people. ²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword and ^(F)be led captive among all nations, and ^(G)Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, ^(H)until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

³⁵ so that on you may come all ^(A)the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous ^(B)Abel to the blood of ^(C)Zechariah the son of Barachiah,^[a] whom you murdered between ^(D)the sanctuary and ^(E)the altar. ³⁶ Truly, I say to you, ^(F)all these things will come upon this generation.

Lament over Jerusalem

^37 (G)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^(H)kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have ^(I)gathered ^(J)your children together ^(K)as a hen gathers her brood ^(L)under her wings, and ^(M)you were not willing! ³⁸ See, ^(N)your house is left to you desolate.
