Context of Luke 13:35

33But I must be on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day. It’s not possible for a prophet to die outside Jerusalem. 34“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill the prophets and stone to death those sent to you! How often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings! But you were not willing! Your house will be abandoned. I can guarantee that you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

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