Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

^41 (F)And when he drew near and saw the city, ^(G)he wept over it, ⁴² saying, ^(H)“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now ^(I)they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³ For ^(J)the days will come upon you, when your enemies ^(K)will set up a barricade around you and ^(L)surround you and hem you in on every side ^44 (M)and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ^(N)they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^(O)the time of your ^(P)visitation.”
