Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 13].
have made the lament 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
\episunag•\, a double compound of late Greek (Polybius). Both
have "How often would I" (\posakis •thel•sa\). 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} (\er•mos\) is wanting in Lu 13:35 and is
doubtful in Mt 23:39.
