Exegesis
The relative pronoun hon {ὃν | hòn} ‘which’ and noun trópon {τρόπον | trópon} ‘manner’ introduce a simile: ornis {ὄρνις | órnis} ‘hen’ gathers her brood under her wings (tēn heautēs nossiàn hypó tas ptérygas {τὴν ἑαυτῆς νοσσιὰν ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας | tḕn heautês nossiàn hypò tàs ptérygas}).
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.
