Matthew 23:37-39
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning the ones having been sent-forth to her. How often I wanted to gather together your children the way a hen gathers together her chicks under her wings, and you did not want it. 38 Behold— your house is being left to you desolate[a]. 39 For I say to you, you will by no means see Me[b] from now on until you say, ‘Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord’”.
