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)

31 At that very time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away and leave this place, because (A)Herod wants to kill You.” 32 And He said to them, “Go and tell that [a]fox, ‘Behold, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I [b](B)reach My goal.’ 33 Nevertheless (C)I must go on My journey today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a (D)prophet would perish outside Jerusalem. 34 (E)Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, (F)just as a hen gathers her [c]young under her wings, and you were unwilling! 35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until you say, ‘(G)Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
