Exegesis
The participles apokteinousa {ἀποκτείνουσα | apokteínousa} ‘slaying’ and lithoboloousa {λιθοβολοῦσα | lithoboloûsa} ‘stoning’ form an attributive construction modifying Jerusalem, each governing its accusative object, prophētas {προφήτας | prophḗtas} and apestalmenous {ἀπεσταλμένους | apestalménous}, with pros autēn {πρὸς αὐτήν | pròs autḗn} indicating the recipients.
In context — Luke 13:34
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who slay the prophets and pelt with stones those dispatched to you—how often I have yearned to assemble your children as a hen draws her brood beneath her wings, yet you would not.
