So I was reading in Luke today and a verse popped out at me. I don't have my Bible near by right now and I can't remember what verse it was but I'm sure you'll know. Ah, it's not really important what verse it is, eheh. ANYWAY

When the representative from Herod tells Jesus that he's going to kill/arrest him (can't remember which). Jesus says, "Go tell that fox...". What is the significance of fox? Was this a curse in those days? Like would Jesus have used the word a$$ in our time?

Luke 13:31-35
31 Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, "Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You." 32 And He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, `Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.' 33 "Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem. 34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it! 35 "Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, `BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!' "
