Luke 13:32-34
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
32 And He said to them, “Having gone, tell this fox, ‘Behold— I am casting-out demons and performing[a] healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I come-to-the-end[b]’. 33 Nevertheless, I must proceed today and tomorrow and the next day, because it cannot-be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem. 34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning the ones having been sent to her. How often I wanted to gather-together your children the way a hen does her own brood under her wings, and you did not want it.

- Luke 13:32 That is, come to the completion of My work. I will finish My work here and leave. Jesus will not alter His divine schedule based on Herod’s threats. Or, come to the end of My life, be perfected. In this case the three days refers to the brief time before Jesus dies. Or, come to My goal, reach My goal.

32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’(A) 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet(B) can die outside Jerusalem!
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(C) and you were not willing.
