የማቴዎስ ወንጌል 23:37-24:2 (አማ54)

ኢየሩሳሌም ኢየሩሳሌም ሆይ፥ ነቢያትን የምትገድል ወደ እርስዋ የተላኩትንም የምትወግር፥ ዶሮ ጫጩቶችዋን ከክንፎችዋ በታች እንደምትሰበስብ ልጆችሽን እሰበስብ ዘንድ ስንት ጊዜ ወደድሁ! አልወደዳችሁምም። እነሆ፥ ቤታችሁ የተፈታ ሆኖ ይቀርላችኋል። እላችኋለሁና፥ በጌታ ስም የሚመጣ የተባረከ ነው እስክትሉ ድረስ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ አታዩኝም።

ኢየሱስም ከመቅደስ ወጥቶ ሄደ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም የመቅደሱን ግንቦች ሊያሳዩት ቀረቡ። እርሱ ግን መልሶ። ይህን ሁሉ ታያላችሁን? እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ድንጋይ በድንጋይ ላይ ሳይፈርስ በዚህ አይቀርም አላቸው።

Matthew 23:37-24:2 (ESV)

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”
