Reading for November 5th

 Read Luke 13.31-35. In 13.31-35: Jesus' lament for Jerusalem. This prophetic word is shared with Matthew (23.37-39). In verses 31-32: Herod again, represents a threat (3.19-20; 9.7-9; 23.6-12), and a fox is an insulting name like "weasel." In verses 32-33: These verses are filled with the prophetic force of Jesus' yearning, will, and intention: I must be ... because it is impossible (see 12.50; 18.31). In verse 34: Israel's scriptures warn against killing the prophets (2 Chr 24.20-22; Jer 26.20-23; Lk 11.50-51). In verse 35: The phrase until the time comes anticipates Lk 19.38, when Ps 118.26 is recited by his disciples. Comments or Questions..
