This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
It cannot be (οὐκ ἐνδέχεται)
The verb means to accept or admit; so that the sense is, “it is not admissible that.” The expression is ironical and hyperbolical, with reference to Jerusalem as having a monopoly of such martyrdoms. “It would be contrary to use and wont, and, in a manner, to theocratic decorum, if such a prophet as I should perish elsewhere than in Jerusalem” (Godet).
