Jesus Weeps for Jerusalem (Short dramatised reading / sketch)

The crowds continued to shout and the Pharisees melted away into dark corners. Jesus climbed from the donkey and as he looked out over the nearby city he knelt in the dust and wept.

Peter: Lord, what is it? What’s wrong?
Jesus: Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem! If only you could see what makes for peace.
Peter: Peace? You mean there’s going to be trouble, Lord?
Jesus: Look around you, Peter – before long this place will be surrounded, and your enemies will encircle the city. They will be swarming on the hills like deadly insects. There will be slaughter and terrible carnage. The place will be raised to the ground.
