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)

How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!(B) 35 See, your house is left to you.[b] And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when[c] you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”(C)
