Lament over Jerusalem

31 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from ^dhere, for ^eHerod wants to kill you.” 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 ^fI finish my course. 33 Nevertheless, ^gI ^hmust go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that ⁱa prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’

Luke 23:7-12

7 And when he learned that he belonged to ^jHerod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. 8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, ^kfor he had long desired to see him, ^lbecause he had heard about him, and he was hoping ^mto see some sign done by him. 9 So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers ⁿtreated him with contempt and ^omocked him. Then, ^parraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate. 12 And ^qHerod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.
