Context of Luke 13:35

33Yet it is necessary that I travel today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem. 34“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See, your house is abandoned to you. I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’!”

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35Your house - ̔ , the temple - called here your house, not my house - I acknowledge it no longer; I have abandoned it, and will dwell in it no more for ever.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 31-35Verses 31-35 Christ, in calling Herod a fox, gave him his true character.

I know, said our Lord, that I must die very shortly; when I die, I shall be perfected, I shall have completed my undertaking.
