Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” ⁴⁰And he answered and said, “I tell you that if these keep silent, the stones will cry out!” ⁴¹ And when he approached and saw the city, he wept over it, ⁴²saying, “If you had known on this day—even you—the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions. ⁴⁴And they will raze you to the ground, you and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, ⌞because⌟ you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
