Commentary on Luke 13:33

Theological / Devotional

I must walk to day. See on chapter 2:49. He must continue His appointed work, and will not interrupt His ministry for Herod’s sake. Day is the usual time for walking and working.

Perish out of Jerusalem. That is, a prophet cannot perish away from Jerusalem. Jesus does not mean that Jerusalem could not be without a prophet, but rather that Jerusalem was the city that killed the prophets, as He explains immediately (verse 34). Jesus is not concerned about His safety while laboring in the territory under Herod’s jurisdiction. He knows full well that He will be killed in Jerusalem.
