Mt. 23: 34-39: Jesus foresees the sufferings of the people of Jerusalem and he doesn’t notice the suffering of his own. He is worried about other’s suffering like a hen gathering her chicks under her wings. He calls sinners to take refuge under his tender protection, keeps them safe, and nourishes them to eternal life. Jewish unbelief in Jesus and their future conversion to Christ were here foretold.
