Jesus' Compassion for Sinners

We see Jesus Christ's compassion for sinners when He said, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!" (Luke 13:34). The Jews murdered the prophets, apostles, and Jesus, yet He still wanted to gather them under his wings to love and protect them.
