38. Crying, Blessed (celebrated with praises) is the King Who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven [freedom there from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin] and glory (majesty and splendor) in the highest [heaven]! [Ps. 118:26.]
39. And some of the Pharisees from the throng said to Jesus, Teacher, reprove Your disciples!
40. He replied, I tell you that if these keep silent, the very stones will cry out. [Hab. 2:11.]
41. And as He approached, He saw the city, and He wept [audibly] over it,
42. Exclaiming, Would that you had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things that make for peace (for freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin and upon which your peace–your security, safety, prosperity, and happiness–depends)! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
