Jesus and Herod Antipas

31 At that time some Pharisees came and told him, “Go, get out of here. Herod(A) wants to kill you.”(B)

32 He said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I’m driving out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’[a](C) 33 Yet it is necessary that I(D) travel today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet(E) to perish(F) outside of Jerusalem.

Jesus’s Lamentation over Jerusalem

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem,(G) who kills the prophets and stones(H) those who are sent to her.(I) How often I wanted to gather your children(J) together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(K) but you were not willing!(L) 35 See, your house is abandoned to you.(M) I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when[b] you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’!”[c](N)

Jesus Rebukes Jerusalem(A)

31 At that hour some Pharisees came and told Jesus,[a] “Leave and get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you!”

32 He told them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Listen! I am driving out demons and healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work. 33 But I must be on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it’s not possible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.’ 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones to death those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you people were unwilling! 35 Look! Your house is left vacant to you. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”[b]
