Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed God’s prophets. They have thrown stones to kill other people that God has sent to you. Many times, I have wanted to bring all of your people near to me. A female bird covers her babies with her body to make them safe. But you would not let me keep you from danger like that. So listen! Your great house will now become like a wilderness with nobody in it. And I tell you this. You will not see me again until the day when you say, “Great is the man who comes with the authority of the Lord God.” ’ Matthew 23:37-39
「 耶路撒冷 啊， 耶路撒冷 啊，你常殺害先知，又用石頭打死那奉差遣到你這裏來的人。我多次願意聚集你的兒女，好像母雞把小雞聚集在翅膀底下，只是你們不願意。 看哪，你們的家成為荒場留給你們。 我告訴你們，從今以後，你們不得再見我，直等到你們說：『奉主名來的是應當稱頌的。』」 馬太福音 23:37-39
