The Gospel for the Ninth Sunday After Pentecost.

(Luke xix. 41 - 47).

At that time, when Jesus drew near to Jerusalem, 

seeing the City, He wept over it, saying: 

“If thou also hadst known, and that in this day, 

the things that are to thy peace:

“But now, they are hidden from thy eyes. 

“For the days shall come upon thee, 

and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, 

and compass thee round, 

and straiten thee on every side;

“And beat thee flat to the ground, 

and thy children who are in thee; 

and they shall not leave in thee 

a stone upon a stone . . .

“. . . because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation”.
