Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} plus the negative ouk ēthelḗsate {οὐκ ἠθελήσατε | oûk ēthelḗsate} ‘but you refused’ contrasts Jesus’s persistent longing with Jerusalem’s unwillingness. The dynamic translation renders the participles into relative clauses for clarity and preserves the maternal image to evoke protective sorrow.
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.
