Matthew 23:36-38

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁶ Truly I declare to you, all these [^[a]evil, calamitous times] will come upon this generation.^(A)

³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a mother fowl gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused!

³⁸ Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate (abandoned and left destitute of God’s help).^(B)
