Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:23
Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people.As Ash observed:(These) touches depict the horror of a nation scattered by God's wrath (Deuteronomy 28:64). The siege would work particular hardship upon pregnant women and those with babies still nursing.[23]There is no way to entertain any reasonable doubt either: (1) that Jesus uttered this prophecy, or (2) that it came to pass as he said.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.Fall by the edge of the sword ... Josephus gives the names of the tribes and villages with the numbers put to death, arriving at the fantastic total of 1,100,000; and as Josephus was a Jewish historian, his record must be received as the most reliable that has reached us concerning this disaster.Led captive... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 21:24
Luke 21:24. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, &c.— There are three particulars denounced in this verse, and all of them were remarkably fulfilled. I. That they should fall by the edge of the sword; and the number of those who so fell was indeed very great. Of those who perished during the whole siege, there were 1,100,000; many were likewise slain at other times, and in other places, of every age, sex, and condition, the number of whom, according to Josephus, amounts to... read more

23. woe unto—"alas for." with child, c.—from the greater suffering it would involve as also "flight in winter, and on the sabbath," which they were to "pray" against (Matthew 24:20), the one as more trying to the body, the other to the soul.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:5-36
D. Jesus’ teaching about the destruction of the temple 21:5-36The emphasis in Luke’s version of this important discourse concerning the future, the Olivet Discourse, is a warning and an encouragement to persevere. Jesus gave this teaching so His disciples would be ready for the coming of the kingdom (cf. Luke 21:34-36). Luke had already reported much teaching about the future (Luke 12:35-48; Luke 17:20-37). However some lessons bore repetition, such as the place of signs in signaling the end... read more

3. The judgment coming on Jerusalem 21:20-24Jesus now returned to the subject of when the temple would suffer destruction (Luke 21:7). The similar passages in Matthew and Mark are sufficiently different to alert the reader to the fact that they deal with a different incident from what Luke described (Matthew 24:15-22; Mark 13:14-20). Even some commentators who believe that Luke depended heavily on Mark for his material admit this difference. [Note: E.g., Marshall, The Gospel . . ., p. 770-71.] read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 21:5-28
131. The coming crisis (Matthew 24:1-31; Mark 13:1-27; Luke 21:5-28)Through his parables and other teachings, Jesus had spoken a number of times of his going away and his return in glory, which would bring in the climax of the age, the triumph of his kingdom and final judgment. His disciples apparently connected these events with the predicted destruction of Jerusalem. Therefore, when Jesus spoke of the destruction of the temple, his disciples immediately connected this with the return of the... read more
