Luke 13:31-35 (The Message)
31
Just then some Pharisees came up and said, "Run for your life! Herod's on the hunt. He's out to kill you!"
32
Jesus said, "Tell that fox that I've no time for him right now. Today and tomorrow I'm busy clearing out the demons and healing the sick; the third day I'm wrapping things up.
33
Besides, it's not proper for a prophet to come to a bad end outside Jerusalem.
34
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killer of prophets, abuser of the messengers of God! How often I've longed to gather your children, gather your children like a hen, Her brood safe under her wings - but you refused and turned away!
35
And now it's too late: You won't see me again until the day you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of God.'"
