Luke 19:41-44

The Son of Man Seeks the Lost, Receives the Kingly Kingdom, and Weeps over Jerusalem

Jesus saves Zacchaeus in Jericho, corrects immediate kingdom expectations through the parable of entrusted stewardship and rejected kingship, enters Jerusalem as the praised king, weeps over the city’s blindness, and cleanses the temple while opposition hardens.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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.”
