They behold him riding into Jerusalem, and see him break into an agony of tears over the impenitent city that would not receive his message. His voice, which was heard in invitation, in entreaty, in tones of tender solicitude, seems again to fall upon their ears. The scene in the garden of Gethsemane rises before them, and they hear Christ's amazing prayer, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me."

De ser ham ride ind i Jerusalem og de ser ham bryde ud i heftig gråd over den ubodfærdige by, som ikke ville tage imod hans budskab. Det er, som hans indbydende, tryglende, kærlige, ængstelige stemme igen lyder i deres øren. Scenen i Getsemane have træder frem og de hører Jesu underlige bøn: "Min Fader! er det muligt, så lad denne kalk gå mig forbi."
