Episode 804: 9th Sunday after Pentecost

GOSPEL (Luke XIX. 41-47.)
At that time, when Jesus drew near
Jerusalem, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: If thou also hadst
known, and that in this thy 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. And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought, saying to them: It is written, My house is the house of, prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves. And he was teaching daily in the temple.
