Jesus Proceeds Away From Herod, Because a Prophet Cannot Perish Outside Jerusalem

³¹ At the very hour, some Pharisees came to Him, saying to Him, “Go out, and proceed from here, because Herod^[a] wants to kill You”. ³² And He said to them, “Having gone, tell this fox, ‘Behold— I am casting-out demons and performing^[b] healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I come-to-the-end^[c]’. ³³ Nevertheless, I must proceed today and tomorrow and the next day, because it cannot-be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem. ³⁴ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning the ones having been sent to her. How often I wanted to gather-together your children the way a hen does her own brood under her wings, and you did not want it. ³⁵ Behold— your house is being left to you. And I say to you, you will by no means see Me until^[d] the time will come when you say, ‘Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord’”.
