SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:34

¡Jerusal�n, Jerusal�n! Que matas a los profetas, y apedreas a los que son enviados a ti, ¡cu�ntas veces quise juntar tus hijos, como la gallina sus pollos debajo de sus alas, y no quisiste!

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 __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies

13:34 {O Jerusalem, Jerusalem} (ierousalem, ierousalem). In #Mt 23:37f. Jesus utters a similar mourn over Jerusalem. The connection suits both there and here, but Plummer considers it "rather a violent hypothesis" to suppose that Jesus spoke these words twice. It is possible, of course, though not like Luke's usual method, that he put the words here because of the mention of Jerusalem. In itself it is not easy to see why Jesus could not have made the mourn both here and in Jerusalem. The language of the apostrophe is almost identical in both places (#Lu 13:34f.; Mt 23:37-39). For details see on Matthew. In Luke we have episunaxai (late first aorist active infinitive) and in Matthew episunagagein (second aorist active infinitive), both from episunagw, a double compound of late Greek (Polybius). Both have "How often would I" (posakis eqelesa). How often did I wish. Clearly showing that Jesus made repeated visits to Jerusalem as we know otherwise only from John's Gospel. {Even as} (hon tropon). Accusative of general reference and in #Mt 23:37 also. Incorporation of antecedent into the relative clause. {Brood} (nossian) is in Luke while Matthew has {chickens} (nossia), both late forms for the older neossia. The adjective {desolate} (eremos) is wanting in #Lu 13:35 and is doubtful in #Mt 23:39.
