When Jesus gave this illustration, his ministry had lasted about three years, which is evidently parallel with the three years mentioned in the illustration. For some three years, Jesus had been trying to cultivate faith among the Jews. Yet, relatively few became disciples and could be considered the fruitage of his labor. Now, in the fourth year of his ministry, he intensifies his efforts. By preaching and teaching in Judea and Perea, it is as if Jesus were digging up the ground and putting fertilizer on the figurative fig tree, representing the Jewish nation. However, only a small number of Jews responded to his efforts, putting the nation as a whole in line for destruction.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span

Some varieties of the mustard plant attain a height of up to 4.5 m (15 ft).

Forms of the Greek verb used at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/14/0" data-bid="15-1" class="b">Lu 13:24</a> are rendered “competing in a contest” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/15/0" data-bid="16-1" class="b">1Co 9:25</a>), “exerting [oneself]” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/16/0" data-bid="17-1" class="b">Col 1:29;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/16/1" data-bid="17-2" class="b"> 4:12;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/16/2" data-bid="17-3" class="b"> 1Ti 4:10</a>), and “fight” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/17/0" data-bid="18-1" class="b">1Ti 6:12</a>). Because the background of this expression is connected with competition in the athletic games, some have suggested that the effort Jesus encouraged may be compared to an athlete’s exerting himself vigorously with all his power to win the prize, straining every nerve, as it were.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span

Some scholars feel that Jesus may have combined the concepts of slyness, weakness, and insignificance in calling Herod a fox. In Jewish literature, the fox was used <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/3/0">metaphorically</a> of relatively weak (compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/23/0" data-bid="24-1" class="b">Ne 4:3</a>) but cunning and opportunistic men, in contrast with the powerful lion, which represented a confident ruler of power and greatness. (Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/24/0" data-bid="25-1" class="b">Pr 28:1;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/24/1" data-bid="25-2" class="b"> Jer 50:17;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/24/2" data-bid="25-3" class="b"> Eze 32:2</a>.) Such a view, if valid, would amount to calling Herod a cunning, self-important ruler who was insignificant in God’s eyes. Jesus was likely passing through Herod’s territory of Perea on his way to Jerusalem when the Pharisees told Jesus that Herod wanted to kill him. It may be that Herod started this rumor, slyly hoping to cause Jesus to flee out of the territory in fear. Herod seems to have been disturbed by Jesus and his ministry. Earlier, Herod had been manipulated by his wife into executing John the Baptist, and he may have been afraid to kill another prophet of God.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/25/0" data-bid="26-1" class="b">Mt 14:1, 2;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/25/1" data-bid="26-2" class="b"> Mr 6:16</a>.</p> <p id="p30" data-pid="30" class="s5"><strong>today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be finished:</strong> Jesus’ expression about time is not to be understood literally. Rather, he was indicating that little time remained before he would depart for Jerusalem, where he would die. His words may also show that the course of his Messianic ministry was set and would not be abbreviated, controlled, or altered by the political aims of any secular ruler.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p1425" data-pid="1425" class="se"></p> <p id="p1426" data-pid="1426" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1390/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> pp. 869,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1391/0"> 1096</a></p> <p id="p1427" data-pid="1427" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1392/0"><em>Jesus—The Way,</em> pp. 192-193</a></p> <div id="p1428" data-pid="1428"><p data-pid="1428" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1393/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="1428" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1393/0">12/1/1988, pp. 8-9</a></p> </div><p id="p1429" data-pid="1429" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p434" data-pid="434" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/432/0">it-1 869,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/432/2"> 1096;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/432/4"> jy 192-193;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/432/6"> gt chapter 82;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/432/8"> w88 12/1 8-9;</a></p> <p id="p435" data-pid="435" class="sx"></p> <p id="p486" data-pid="486" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/484/0">ad 607,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/484/1"> 758</a></p> <p id="p487" data-pid="487" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="42-13-33" data-section-citation="042013033042013033"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Luke 13:33</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p32" data-pid="32" class="s5"><strong>it cannot be:</strong> Or “it is inconceivable (unthinkable).” While no Bible prophecy explicitly states that the Messiah would die in Jerusalem, this idea may be inferred from <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/27/0" data-bid="28-1" class="b">Da 9:24-26</a>. Additionally, it would be expected that if the Jews were to kill a prophet, and especially the Messiah, it would be in that city. The 71-member Sanhedrin, the high court, met in Jerusalem, so those accused of being false prophets would be tried there. Jesus may also have had in mind that Jerusalem was where the regular sacrifices were offered to God and where the Passover lamb was slaughtered. As things worked out, Jesus’ words came true. He was brought before the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and condemned. And it was in Jerusalem, just beyond the city walls, that he died as the “Passover lamb.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/28/0" data-bid="29-1" class="b">1Co 5:7</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/42/13/603" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-604"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mt 16:21</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-604" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-604" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p1429" data-pid="1429" class="se"></p> <p id="p1430" data-pid="1430" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1394/0"><em>Jesus—The Way,</em> p. 193</a></p> <div id="p1431" data-pid="1431"><p data-pid="1431" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1395/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="1431" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1395/0">12/1/1988, p. 9</a></p> </div><p id="p1432" data-pid="1432" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p435" data-pid="435" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/433/0">jy 193;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/433/2"> gt chapter 82;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/433/4"> w88 12/1 9;</a></p> <p id="p436" data-pid="436" class="sx"></p> <p id="p487" data-pid="487" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/485/0">w70 31-32;</a><span class="ni"> nh 116</span></p> <p id="p488" data-pid="488" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="42-13-34" data-section-citation="042013034042013034"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Luke 13:34</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p34" data-pid="34" class="s5"><strong>Jerusalem, Jerusalem:</strong> According to <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070657/30/0" data-bid="31-1" class="b">Mt 23:37</a>, Jesus made a very similar statement in Jerusalem on Nisan 11 during the last week of his earthly ministry.
