Matthew 23:37-39

New Catholic Bible

³⁷ The Lament over Jerusalem.^[a]“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you murder the Prophets and stone the messengers sent to you! How often have I longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not allow it! ³⁸ Behold, your house has been abandoned and left desolate. ³⁹ I tell you, you will not see me again until you say: ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”
