Luke 13:31-35

Lament over Jerusalem

31 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from ¹here, for ²Herod wants to kill you."

32 And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day ³I finish my course.

33 Nevertheless, ⁴I ⁵must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that ⁶a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.'

34 ⁷O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ⁸kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! ⁹How often would I have ¹⁰gathered ¹¹your children together ¹²as a hen gathers her brood ¹³under her wings, and ¹⁴you would not!

35 Behold, ¹⁵your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ¹⁶'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
