As with any group, it is made up of individiuals who are +not necessarily all going to believe in the same things and act the same way. +However, Jesus doesn't respond like they are genuinely concerned for Him. While +we know Herod wanted to meet Jesus, we don't know that he wanted to put Him to +death, either. + +Instead, Jesus tells the Pharisees to send a message to Herod (but really it's +for them, I expect). He emphasizes that His ministry has supernatural effects +but it also has a definite end. He also alludes to the fact that it will end +because He will be killed at Jerusalem, just like the prophets of old. That +make me wonder what the Pharisees thought when they heard that. + +The parallel passage for Luke 13:34&endash;35 is Matthew 23:37&endash;38, which +tells us Jesus said this lament as He was debating with the Pharisees in +Jerusalem during Passion Week. Whenever He said it, it tells us that the people +of Jerusalem had rejected Him time and again. + +* * * + +Shelter us under Your wings, so that we may live in the safety of Your love.
