Luke 19:42

Read in context

Luke 19:40–44 · Berean Standard Bible

40 “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”

41 As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

42 and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.

44 They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
