The Lord wept over Jerusalem
Drawing near to Jerusalem the Lord “wept and said: if you too had known the things unto your peace.” (Luke 19:41–42) “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I wanted to gather your children, as a hen gathers her own brood under the wings, and you were not willing.” (Matthew 23:37) (Luke 13:34)

Ἐγγίζων τῇ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὁ κύριος >ἔκλαυσεν καὶ εἶπεν. εἰ ἔγνως καὶ σὺ τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην σου<. «Ἱερουσαλὴμ Ἱερουσαλή, ἡ ἀποκτείνουσα τοὺς προφήτας καὶ λιθοβολοῦσα τοὺς ἀπεσταλμένους πρὸς αὐτήν, ποσάκις ἠθέλησα ἐπισυνάξαοι τὰ | | τέκνα σου, ὅν τρόπον ἔρνις ἐπισυνάγει τὰ νοσσία ἐαυτῆς ὐπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας, καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε.
