Jesus turned to His disciples and the others
that had gathered at the temple. He spoke to
them, giving His final condemnation of the
religious leaders.
He exposed their hypocrisy and corruption.
While doing this, He ached over the city of
Jerusalem and the people in it.
Matthew 23:37-39
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest
the prophets, and stonest them which are
sent unto thee, how often would I have
gathered thy children together, even as a
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings,
and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord."
