cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the
highest.

(39)And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said unto him, Master,
reprove thy disciples. (40)And he replying said to them. I tell you
that, should these be silent, the very stones would cry out.

(41)And as he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it,
(42)saying, Oh that thou hadst known, even in this thy day, the things
that are for thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. (43)For
the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies shall cast up a trench
around thee, and encircle thee about, and straiten thee on every side,
(44)and will dash thee on the ground, and thy children within thee; and

not believe him? (6)But if we say, Of men; all the people will stone
us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. (7)And they
answered, We know not from whence. (8)And Jesus said to them, Neither
tell I you by what authority I do these things.

(9)Then he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man
planted a vineyard, and delivered it to husbandmen, and went abroad for
a long while. (10)And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a
servant, that they might give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the
