Luke 19:41 Douay-Rheims

And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

I do not deny then that the former Jerusalem was destroyed because of the wickedness of its inhabitants, but I ask whether the weeping might not perhaps concern this your spiritual Jerusalem. For if a man has sinned after receiving the mysteries of truth, he will be wept over. Moreover, no Gentile is wept over, but he only who was of Jerusalem, and has ceased to be.
