The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:34

Divine emotion, etc. These words are full of— I. DIVINE EMOTION . They are charged with sacred feeling, The heart of Jesus Christ was evidently filled with a profound and tender regret as he contemplated the guilt and the doom of the sacred city. Strong emotion breathes in every word of this pathetic and powerful lament, And manifesting to us the Divine Father as Jesus did, we gather therefrom that our God is not one who is unaffected by what he witnesses in his universe, by what... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:35

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate . The older authorities omit "desolate." The sentence will then read, "your house is left unto you." Their house from henceforth, not his . Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord. "Ye shall not see me." Van Oosterzee comments here: "Their senses are still blinded. The veil of the Talmud that hangs over their eyes is twice as heavy as the veil of Moses." The promise which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 13:34-35

See the notes at Matthew 23:37-39.From the message which Jesus sent to Herod we may learn:That our lives are safe in the hands of God, and that wicked people can do no more to injure us than he shall permit. Compare John 19:11. That we “should” go on fearlessly in doing our duty, and especially if we are doing good. We should not regard the threats of people. God is to be obeyed; and even if obedience should involve us in difficulty and trials, still we should not hesitate to commit our cause... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 13:33-35

Luke 13:33-35. Nevertheless, I must walk to-day, &c. Notwithstanding all that he can do, I shall, for the short time I have left, do the works of Him that sent me, without being afraid of any man; because my life cannot be taken from me till the time come, which is appointed of God. When that period is arrived, I shall be offered up, yet not here, but in the bloody city. For it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem That unhappy city, which claims prescription for murdering... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 13:22-35

99. The first shall be last (Luke 13:22-35)As Jesus moved through the towns of the Jordan Valley, he stressed that people should believe in him without delay, because they would not have the opportunity to hear from him again. Many were concerned with theoretical questions about who would or would not be saved. Jesus explained that people individually should first be sure of their own salvation, because on the judgment day many who thought they were in God’s kingdom would find themselves left... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 13:34

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 13:18-35

E. Instruction about the kingdom 13:18-14:35The larger division of the Gospel that records Jesus’ ministry on the way to Jerusalem and the Cross continues with more teaching about the coming kingdom. The parables of the kingdom that begin this section (Luke 13:18-21) introduce this section. The difference in Jesus’ teaching in the present section is a matter of emphasis rather than a clear-cut change. The subtlety of this distinction is observable in that the commentators differ over where they... read more
