Luke 19:37-44

37When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.

38“Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”

39But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!”

40He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”

41But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.

42“How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.

43Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.

44They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.”
