Why did Jesus weep for Jerusalem?

Accepted answer
Jesus knew the hearts of those that were there, that they rejected not only the prophets, but they rejected Him the Messiah. Let's take a look at the Scripture in question Luke 19:41-44 "And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
We see here that since they refused Jesus, that they would reap destruction, and this is exactly what happened in AD 70 by Titus who later became Emperor of Rome. Jesus was foretelling the Roman siege of the city, in which the city was sieged and was destroyed.
