Discussion Questions: Luke 13:31-35

  1. Why did the Pharisees tell Jesus about Herod’s desire to do him harm? Were they genuinely concerned for Jesus?
  2. Was Jesus driven to Jerusalem by Herrod, the Pharisees, or by the fear of man? In other words, was his life taken from him? 
  3. Why did Jesus mourn over Jerusalem? 
  4. What did Jesus mean when he said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!”
  5. What did Jesus mean when he said, “Behold, your house is forsaken”? 
  6. Why did Jesus cite Psalm 118, saying, “And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (Luke 13:35)
  7. The earthly temple in Jerusalem is forsaken. Something greater than the temple is here. Discuss.
