What does Jesus mean that "Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted"?

JESUS was known as a Friend of sinners, and HE tells us to do good both to the lovable and the unlovable (Matt.5:46). So, if the unevangelized and needy are to be reached, GOD'S people must maintain ties with them, and should want to do so for the gospel's sake. (1 Cor.5:9-11). Therefore, to do what is right in GOD'S EYES at all times is virtuous, but even more so when one's charitable acts cannot possibly be attributed to desire for immediate personal advantage.

How does Jesus want to care for the people of Jerusalem (Israel), and how do they respond?

JESUS clearly shows tenderness for GOD'S ancient chosen nation of which HE is a member. HIS recollection of their past sins does not lead HIM to spiteful accusation, but rather to a heartfelt lament. HE cared for the people of Jerusalem (Israel) as stated in Luke 13:34. Although the Pharisees wanted HIM to leave because of the danger (threats from Herod).

Jesus answers that to be saved, it is not enough for the person to know the Lord, rather the Lord needs to know the person. What does this mean?

THE LORD needs to know the person means that we should entirely devote ourselves to THE KINGDOM OF GOD, by praying, fasting, doing the right things and to honor GOD'S COMMANDMENTS, and be BORN AGAIN OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT.
