Luke 13:34
Luke 13:34 in Multiple Translations
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
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!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not!
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather all your children together just like a hen does with her chicks under her wings, but you refused!
O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, howe often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her brood vnder her wings, and ye would not!
'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee; how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
Then Jesus said, “O people of [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets who lived long ago, and you killed others, whom God sent to you, by throwing stones at them. Many times I wanted to gather you together to protect you [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want me to do that.
Then Jesus gave a message for the people that lived in Jerusalem city. He said, “You Jerusalem mob. You never listen to the men that tell you God’s messages, but instead you kill them. Yes, you throw big stones at them to kill them. Listen, I wanted to look after you mob, just like a chook looks after her young chicks and covers them with her wings, so that nothing can hurt them. I often wanted to look after you like that, but you never let me.

Context — Lament over Jerusalem
32But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’
33Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
35Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”Cross References

Luke 13:34 Summary
In this verse, Jesus is expressing His deep love and longing to care for the people of Jerusalem, but they are unwilling to receive His love. He wants to gather them under His protection, like a mother hen gathers her chicks, but they are too proud and stubborn to accept Him. This is similar to what Jesus says in John 3:16, where He wants to give eternal life to all people, but they must be willing to receive it. Jesus' words remind us that God's love is always available, but we must be willing to receive it and surrender to His will, as seen in Romans 10:9-10.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Jesus say that Jerusalem kills the prophets and stones those sent to her?
Jesus is referencing the long history of Israel's rejection and violence against God's messengers, as seen in Matthew 23:37 and Hebrews 11:36-38, which ultimately led to their spiritual blindness and hardness of heart.
What does Jesus mean by gathering Jerusalem's children together like a hen gathers her chicks?
Jesus is expressing His deep desire to protect and care for God's people, much like a mother hen gathers her chicks under her wings to keep them safe, as seen in Psalm 91:4 and Matthew 23:37.
Why were the people of Jerusalem unwilling to be gathered by Jesus?
The people of Jerusalem were unwilling because of their hardness of heart and spiritual blindness, which prevented them from recognizing Jesus as their Messiah, as seen in John 1:11 and Acts 7:51-53.
What is the significance of Jesus saying 'you were unwilling'?
Jesus' statement emphasizes the people's responsibility for their own rejection of Him, highlighting their free will and the consequences of their choices, as seen in Deuteronomy 30:19 and Joshua 24:15.
Reflection Questions
- How does Jesus' lament over Jerusalem challenge my own heart and willingness to receive God's love and protection?
- In what ways can I be like the mother hen, gathering and caring for those around me who are in need of spiritual protection and guidance?
- What are some ways that I may be unknowingly resisting or rejecting God's love and care in my own life, and how can I surrender to His will?
- How can I balance God's desire for me to be gathered under His wings with the need to take responsibility for my own spiritual growth and obedience?

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets,.... These words, with what follow, as they stand in Matthew 23:37 were delivered by Christ, when he was in the temple at Jerusalem; but here they
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Luke 13:34
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Luke 13:34
Ver. 34-35. See Poole on "". See Poole on "". See Poole on "". These five last verses afford us much for our instruction. 1. We may from them learn the craft of the enemies of the gospel, as well as their malice; they are lions, and will, like lions, tear rand rend when they see an opportunity; but when they see it convenient, then they put on the fox’ s skin, doing the same thing by subtlety, which they durst not attempt to effect by cruelty. 2. Their malice is as much perspicuous; who but the children of the devil could have found in their hearts to have desired Christ to go out of their country, who did nothing there but innocently and diligently preach the gospel, deliver people from grievous diseases, and the power of Satan, who miserably possessed and tormented them? 3. When the most malicious enemies of God’ s people have done what they can, they shall finish their course, and work the time God hath set them. 4. When they have perfected their work, they shall be perfected. Death is but the perfecting of the saints, as it was the perfecting of Christ. 5.
Men shall die, as at the time, so at the place, which God hath set. 6. God sending of his ministers faithfully to reveal his will to people, is a declaration of his willingness to gather them under the wings of his special favour and protection. 7. The perverse wills of men are those things which hinder men and women from being gathered. 8. Temporal judgments, and that of the severest nature, will first or last follow men’ s contempt of the offers of grace and salvation. 9. Those that do contemn the means of grace shalt not see them long. —Ye shall not see me. 10. The proudest scorners and contemners of Christ and his grace shall one day wash that one would or might come unto them in the name of the Lord, and do but now contemn what hereafter they would be glad they might enjoy.
Trapp's Commentary on Luke 13:34
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Ver. 34. See Matthew 23:37.
Ellicott's Commentary on Luke 13:34
(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.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Luke 13:34
Verse 34. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem] See notes on Matthew 23:37-39, where the metaphor of the hen is illustrated from the Greek Anthology.
Cambridge Bible on Luke 13:34
34. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem] The words were perhaps spoken again in the Great Denunciation of the Tuesday in Passion Week, Matthew 23:37.which killest the prophets] “It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers” (Isaiah 1:21). See Luke 11:47, Luke 20:14; Matthew 23:34; 2Es 1:32, “I sent unto you my servants the prophets whom ye have taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, saith the Lord.”how often] This, like other passages in the Synoptists, implies more frequent visits to Jerusalem than they actually record.as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings] A metaphor still more tender and appealing than that of the eagle which “stirrethup her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings” of Deuteronomy 32:11-12.ye would not] In contrast with the “would I” of Luke 13:34; it indicates “the sad privilege which man possesses of resisting the most serious influences of grace.”
Barnes' Notes on Luke 13:34
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.
Whedon's Commentary on Luke 13:34
34. O Jerusalem—Jesus reiterated the same apostrophe, in fuller terms, at a later moment, in Jerusalem itself, as his closing sentence before his retirement to the sacrifice of himself for the sins of the world.
