Luke 13:31-35
Lexham English Bible
The Lament over Jerusalem
31 At that same hour some Pharisees came up and[a] said to him, “Go out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you!” 32 And he said to them, “Go and[b] tell that fox, ‘Behold, I am expelling demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’[c] 33 Nevertheless, it is necessary for me to be on the way today and tomorrow and on the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way[d] a hen gathers[e] her own brood under her[f] wings, and you were not willing! 35 Behold, your house has been left to you! And I tell you, you will never see me until the time[g] will come when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”[h]
