SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:31
¶ Aquel mismo día llegaron unos de los fariseos, dicindole: Sal, y vete de aquí, porque Herodes te quiere matar.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 13:31
Verse 31. Depart hence, &c.] It is probable that the place from which Christ was desired to depart was Galilee or Perea; for beyond this Herod had no jurisdiction. It can scarcely mean Jerusalem, though it appears from chap. xxiii. 7, that Herod Antipas was there at the time of our Lord's crucifixion. Herod will kill thee.] Lactantius says that this Herod was the person who chiefly instigated the Jewish rulers to put our Lord to death: Tum Pontius, et illorum clamouribus, et Herodis tetrarchae instigatione, metuentis ne regno pelleretur, victus est:-fearing lest himself should be expelled from the kingdom, if Christ should be permitted to set up his. See LACT. Inst. Div. lib. iv. c. xviii., and Bishop Pearce on chap. xxiii. 7.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. The same day there came certain of the Pharisees , etc.] Who dwelt in Galilee, for they were in all parts of the country: these being nettled and filled with indignation at Christ, because of the parables he had that day delivered, the miracles he had wrought, and the several awful and striking things which dropped from him, and which they knew respected them; contrived to get rid of him, by frightening him with a design of Herod's, to take away his life, should he continue there: for this seems to be rather a stratagem of theirs, than of Herod's; though it may he, that Herod might take this method, and make use of these men in this way, to terrify him; fearing to lay hold on him, and put him to death; partly because of the people, and partly because of the remaining uneasiness and terror of his mind, for taking off the head of John the Baptist: saying, get thee out and depart hence ; in all haste, as soon as possible: for Herod will kill thee : he is resolved upon it, he has formed a design, and will quickly take methods to execute it. This was Herod the tetrarch, of Galilee; from whence we learn, that Christ was as yet in Galilee, though he was journeying towards Jerusalem, ( Luke 13:22) for Herod's jurisdiction reached no further than Galilee: this was either a device of Herod's, or of the Pharisees, or of both, to get rid of Christ in the easiest manner.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-35 - Christ, in calling Herod a fox, gave him his true character. The greatest of men were accountable to God, therefore it became him to call this proud king by his own name; but it is not an example for us I know, said our Lord, that I must die very shortly; when I die, shall be perfected, It shall have completed my undertaking. It is goo for us to look upon the time we have before us as but little, that we may thereby be quickened to do the work of the day in its day. The wickedness of persons and places which more than others profes religion and relation to God, especially displeases and grieves the Lord Jesus. The judgment of the great day will convince unbelievers but let us learn thankfully to welcome, and to profit by all who com in the name of the Lord, to call us to partake of his great salvation __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
31. Day. The best texts read hour.Will kill (qelei apokteinai). As in so many cases the A.V. renders as the future of the verb to kill; whereas there are two distinct verbs; to will or determine, and to kill. The meaning is, Herod willeth or is determined to kill thee. Rev., would fain, seems rather feeble.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:31 {In that very hour} (en autei tei hwrai). Luke's favorite notation of time. {Pharisees} (farisaioi). Here we see the Pharisees in a new role, warning Jesus against the machinations of Herod, when they are plotting themselves.
