Matthew 23:37 in Context — Matthew 23
35 para que venha sobre vós todo o sangue justo que foi derramado sobre a terra, desde o sangue do justo Abel, até o sangue de Zacarias, filho de Baraquias, ao qual matastes entre o templo e o altar.
36 Em verdade vos digo que tudo isto virá sobre esta geração.
37 Jerusalém, Jerusalém, que matas os profetas, e apedrejas os que te são enviados! Quantas vezes eu quis ajuntar os teus filhos, como a galinha ajunta os seus pintos debaixo das asas; porém não quisestes!
38 Eis que vossa casa vos será deixada desolada.
39 Pois eu vos digo que a partir de agora não me vereis, até que digais: “Bendito aquele que vem no nome do Senhor”.
