Context of Luke 19:41

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!’ When Jesus got near to the city, he looked at it. He cried because he felt very sorry for the people in it. 42He said, ‘You need to know what would really help you. Then you could have lived without trouble. But now, you are unable to understand properly. 43As a result, days of trouble will come to you. Your enemies will build a wall round you. They will shut you in completely, and they will not let you leave.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 41-4441-44. when beheld ... wept--Compare La 3:51, "Mine eye affecteth mine heart"; the heart again affecting the eye. Under this sympathetic law of the relation of mind and body, Jesus, in His beautiful, tender humanity, was constituted even as we. What a contrast to the immediately preceding profound joy!
