Lucas 13:34

34 “Jerusalém, Jerusalém, você, que mata os profetas e apedreja os que são enviados a você! Quantas vezes eu quis reunir os seus filhos, como a galinha reúne os seus pintinhos debaixo das suas asas, mas vocês não quiseram!

Lucas 13:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 13:34

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets
These words, with what follow, as they stand in ( Matthew 23:37-39 ) were delivered by Christ, when he was in the temple at Jerusalem; but here they were spoken by him when in Galilee, in Herod's jurisdiction; so that it appears, that the same words were spoken by Christ at different times, in different places, and to different persons: unless it can be thought, that Luke transcribed them from Matthew, and inserts them here, on occasion of Christ's having mentioned the perishing of a prophet in Jerusalem; where many had been killed and put to death, in one way or another, and particularly in the following:

and stonest them that are sent unto thee;
as Zechariah, ( 2 Chronicles 24:20-22 )

how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen
doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not?
and therefore ought not to have been condemned as a false prophet by their sanhedrim, as he suggests he should be, and as he afterwards was; (See Gill on Matthew 23:37).

Lucas 13:34 In-Context

32 Ele respondeu: “Vão dizer àquela raposa: Expulsarei demônios e curarei o povo hoje e amanhã e no terceiro dia estarei pronto.

33 Mas preciso prosseguir hoje, amanhã e depois de amanhã, pois certamente nenhum profeta deve morrer fora de Jerusalém!

34 “Jerusalém, Jerusalém, você, que mata os profetas e apedreja os que são enviados a você! Quantas vezes eu quis reunir os seus filhos, como a galinha reúne os seus pintinhos debaixo das suas asas, mas vocês não quiseram!

35 Eis que a casa de vocês ficará deserta. Eu digo que vocês não me verão mais até que digam: ‘Bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor’.”
