Psalm 48:8: In what sense is the city “established forever” if Jerusalem has repeatedly fallen under foreign rule and been rebuilt? What Does Luke 13:34 Mean O Jerusalem, Jerusalem“ ‘O Jerusalem, Jerusalem…’ ” (Luke 13:34a) • Jesus repeats the city’s name to show deep, personal grief—much like David’s “Absalom, my son, my son” (2 Samuel 18:33). • He weeps over the city again in Luke 19:41–42, proving His heart is genuinely tender, not merely angry. • The lament points to Jerusalem’s unique role as the spiritual center of Israel (Psalm 48:1–2) and sets the stage for accountability that matches its privilege (Amos 3:2). who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her “ …who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her… ” (Luke 13:34b) • From Zechariah son of Jehoiada (2 Chronicles 24:20–21) to Uriah son of Shemaiah (Jeremiah 26:20–23), the city’s record is tragically consistent. • Stephen sums it up: “Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?” (Acts 7:52). • Hebrews 11:36–38 catalogs unnamed sufferers—proof that the pattern is long-standing. • Rejecting God’s messengers equals rejecting God Himself (1 Samuel 8:7). how often I have longed to gather your children together “ …how often I have longed to gather your children together… ” (Luke 13:34c) • The longing is frequent (“how often”), showing persistent grace. • Echoes of Exodus 19:4—“I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.” • Isaiah 30:18 affirms, “The LORD longs to be gracious to you,” while 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us He is “patient, not wanting anyone to perish.” • God’s desire precedes human response; He initiates the rescue plan repeatedly (Nehemiah 9:30–31). as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings “ …as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings… ” (Luke 13:34d) • A vivid, earthy picture of shelter and warmth—accessible to every listener. • Psalm 91:4 promises, “He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge.” • Ruth found security “under the wings” of the God of Israel (Ruth 2:12). • The image communicates both protection from danger and intimacy of relationship (Psalm 17:8). but you were unwilling! “ …but you were unwilling!” (Luke 13:34e) • The barrier is not divine reluctance but human refusal (John 5:40). • Jeremiah 6:16–17 records a similar refusal: “But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ ” • Consequences follow: Luke 19:43–44 foretells Jerusalem’s destruction because it “did not recognize the time of your visitation.” • Personal responsibility is underscored—grace offered can still be resisted (Hebrews 3:7–8). summary Luke 13:34 reveals a Savior who repeatedly reaches out to His covenant city with passionate, protective love. Jerusalem’s history of silencing God’s spokesmen shows the tragedy of hardened hearts, yet Christ’s maternal metaphor proves His desire to shelter, not to destroy. The verse calls every reader to welcome the One who longs to gather us, rather than share the fate of those who were unwilling. (34, 35) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets.--See Notes on Matthew 23:37-39. Here, as in other like cases, we have to choose between the alternatives of the words having been spoken on two different though similar occasions, or of one of the Evangelists misplacing the words which were actually spoken but once. As with most other passages thus re-appearing in a different context, I hold the former to be by far the most probable. In each report, it may be noted, they fit into the context with a perfectly natural coherence.Verse 34. - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee! This exquisite and moving apostrophe was uttered in similar language in the Passion-week, just as Jesus was leaving the temple for the last time. It was spoken here with rare appropriateness in the first instance after the promise of sad irony that the holy city should not be deprived of the spectacle of the Teacher-Prophet's death. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!" It was a farewell to the holy city. It was the sorrowful summing-up of the tenderest love of centuries. Never had earthly city been loved like this. There the anointed of the Eternal were to fix their home. There the stately shrine for the service of the invisible King of Israel was to keep watch and ward over the favoured capital of the chosen race. There the visible presence of the Lord God Almighty, the Glory and the Pride of the people, was ever and anon to rest. And in this solemn last farewell, the Master looked back through the vista of the past ages of Jerusalem's history, It was a dark and gloomy contemplation. It had been all along the wicked chief city of a wicked people, of a people who had thrown away the fairest chances ever offered to men - the city of a people whose annals were memorable for deeds of blood, for the most striking ingratitude, for incapacity, for folly shading into crime. Not once nor twice in that dark story of Israel chosen messengers of the invisible King had visited the city he loved so well. These were invested with the high credentials which belong to envoys from the King of kings, with a voice sweeter and more persuasive, with a power grander and more far-reaching than were the common heritage of men; and these envoys, his prophets, they had maltreated, persecuted, murdered. How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings! God's great love to Israel had been imaged in the far back days of the people, when Moses judged them, under a similar metaphor. Then it was the eagle fluttering over her young and bearing them on her wings; now it is slightly altered to one if possible more tender and loving, certainly more homely. How often in bygone days would the almighty wings, indeed, had Israel only wished it, have been spread out over them a sure shelter! Now the time of grace was over, and the almighty wings were folded. And ye would not! Sad privilege, specially mentioned here by the Divine Teacher, this freedom of man's will to resist the grace of God. "Ye would not," says the Master, thus joining the generation who heard his voice to the stiffnecked Israel of the days of the wicked kings.Parallel Commentaries ...
