And as Jesus prepares for the messianic entry into the city which will kill him as it has killed all the prophets, he bursts into tears - surely the most moving scene in the Gospel, eternal love being forced to weep over the strength of human rejection: "Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes."
- Hans Urs von Balthasar, Does Jesus Know Us? Do We Know Him?
