  **Show the text**

  37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

  38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”

  39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

  40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

  41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,

  42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

  43 For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

  44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
