He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!” Luke 19:40

Luke 19:41 And when He approached, He saw the city and wept over it…

…saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.”

Luke 19:43-44 “For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you…”

Luke 19:43-44 

and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation." Luke 19:44
