Lament over Jerusalem
31 Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Leave and go from here, for (A)Herod wants to kill You.” 32 And He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I [a](B)finish.’ 33 Nevertheless (C)I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not possible that a (D)prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem. 34 (E)O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, (F)just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you did not want it! 35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate, and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘(G)Blessed is He who comes in the name of the [b]Lord!’”

The Lament over Jerusalem
31 At that same hour some Pharisees came up and[a] said to him, “Go out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you!” 32 And he said to them, “Go and[b] tell that fox, ‘Behold, I am expelling demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’[c] 33 Nevertheless, it is necessary for me to be on the way today and tomorrow and on the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way[d] a hen gathers[e] her own brood under her[f] wings, and you were not willing! 35 Behold, your house has been left to you! And I tell you, you will never see me until the time[g] will come when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”[h]
