Luke 19:41-44

International Children’s Bible

Jesus Cries for Jerusalem

⁴¹ Jesus came near Jerusalem. He saw the city and began to cry for it. ⁴² Jesus said to Jerusalem, “I wish you knew today what would bring you peace! But you can’t know it, because it is hidden from you. ⁴³ A time is coming when your enemies will build a wall around you and will hold you in on all sides. ⁴⁴ They will destroy you and all your people. Not one stone of your buildings will be left on another. All this will happen because you did not know the time when God came to save you.”
