This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
33. δεῖ με … πορεύεσθαι. ‘I must journey’; the same word as in Luk 13:31, “depart.” It seems to imply, ‘I will not leave Herod’s dominions, but I shall journey on at my own leisure through them.’
οὐκ ἐνδέχεται, i.e. there is a moral unfitness in the murder of a Prophet anywhere but in Jerusalem. The words are those of terrible irony; and yet, even amid the irony, the voice of the Speaker seemed to break with tears as He uttered the tender appeal of the next verse.
