Matthew 23:37-39

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Lament over Jerusalem

³⁷ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! ³⁸ Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate.^{[a] 39} For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
