Luke 13:31. In that very hour. This is the correct translation.

Certain Pharisees. They may have been sent by Herod, and were the agents best adapted for his purpose, because their party was in opposition to him. Our Lord's reply intimates this. Herod may not have wished to kill Jesus, but the desire, now to see Him and now to get Him out of his territory, agrees entirely with the character of that ruler. To threaten thus without really purposing to carry out the threat, to use Pharisees, his opponents, to report the threat, is the cunning of ‘that fox.'

Depart hence. Our Lord was probably in Perea, part of Herod's territory, and that part too in which John the Baptist had been put to death. Others infer from chap. Luke 17:11, that He was still in Galilee, but this we consider highly improbable.
