Dear Mark, Thank you for your reply. The fact that you took the time and effort to read the article shows me that you are a serious student of Scripture. I have a diffent interpretation. Luke 13:31 Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, "Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You." Luke 13:32 And He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.' Luke 13:33 "Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem. Luke 13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it! than yours. A careful reading of vv 31-34 identifies the Pharisses as those who "would not have it" (NASB). |

Hi John, I do, now, have a question regarding the Greek text on this passage. Luke 13:34 begins with direct address to "Jerusalem, Jerusalem", so Jesus is speaking to the city itself. As a proper noun, Jerusalem is indeclinable. The form of "you would not have it" - ethelesate - is second person plural. My first inclination for the antecedant to the implied "you" would be "Jerusalem", to which Jesus addressed. But since this is a plural form, should it in fact be directed back to the Parisees, even though this would mean Jesus changed His intended audience mid-sentence? Are you aware of a Greek grammatical rule that would answer this? Tim, are you out there? Do you know? Notwithstanding, this does not affect my analysis of the passage. But like I said, I want to know. :-) Love in Christ, Mark |

Thanks Mark, I have been down this road before. Not being a Greek scholar myself, I rely on respected people in the field for guidance. In this case it is James White. His website is aomin.org. I have to pick up my wife from work, but will post you later. John |
