John Trapp on Luke 19:41

Verse 41. He beheld the City] That common slaughter-house of the Prophets. Our Lord is said to have been slain at Rome, Revelations 11. 8. because crucified at Jerusalem by the Roman authority. And wept over it] Shall not we weep over the ruines of so many fair and flourishing Churches, that now lie in the dirt? Christ wept in this day of his solemne Inauguration. It shall be in our last triumph only that all teares shall be wiped from our eyes; till then our passions must be mixed, according to the occasions.
