Luke 19:37-41

37Jesus got near to the lowest part of the Mount of Olives. The whole crowd of his disciples were very happy. They began to praise God with loud voices. They thanked him for all the great things that they had seen.

38They said: ‘May the Lord God bless the king who comes with his authority! We want everything to be well in heaven. We praise our powerful God above!’

39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, stop your disciples from saying these things.’

40‘Let me tell you this,’ Jesus replied. ‘If these people were quiet, the stones of the city would shout out instead!’

41When Jesus got near to the city, he looked at it. He cried because he felt very sorry for the people in it.
