Context of Luke 19:41

39Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40He answered, “I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out.” As he approached and saw the city, he wept for it, 42saying, “If you knew this day what would bring peace — but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43For the days will come on you when your enemies will build a barricade around you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.
