E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Luke 21:32

Verily . See note on Matthew 5:18 . This generation. See note on Matthew 11:16 . till all be fulfilled = till (Greek. eos an) all may possiblyto pass. (Not the same word as "fulfilled" in Luke 21:24 .) Had the nation repented at Peter's call, in Acts 2:38 ; Acts 3:19-26 , "all that the prophets had spoken" would have come to pass. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:32

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.Throughout this discourse, Jesus was giving prophecies related to two future events: (1) the destruction of Jerusalem with its temple, and (2) his Second Coming in glory; therefore, Jesus' use of the word "generation" in this passage requires it to be understood in two senses. It has a perfect application to both events when so... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 21:32

Luke 21:32. Verily I say unto you, &c.— A late writer, whose criticism is at least ingenious, observes, that "this clause, of the prediction has not merely been generally misapprehended, but moreover falsely translated; and this is the opinion of men who holdthefirstrankinscripturalcriticism,namely, of Mede, Wolfius, Brenius, Markius, Sykes, &c. A Mr. Hayne had applied this part of our Lord's prophesy to the destruction of Jerusalem: Mr. Mede replies to him, 'I answer, first, while you... read more

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

5. The certainty of these events 21:29-33 (cf. Matthew 24:32-35; Mark 13:28-31)Jesus told the parable of the fig tree to illustrate the certainty of what He had prophesied. He then gave other assurances of fulfillment. Luke omitted Jesus’ statement that no one would know the day or hour when He would return (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32). He may have felt that this would weaken the force of these predictions, and he recorded a similar statement later (Acts 1:7). He also omitted Jesus’ reference to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:32

This verse begins Jesus’ final word confirming the certainty of His prophecy. He introduced it with the solemn "Truly I say to you" or "I tell you the truth.""This generation" refers to the unbelieving Jews who were alive when Jesus spoke, as it usually does in the Gospels (cf. Luke 3:7; Luke 7:31; Luke 9:41; Luke 11:29-32; Luke 11:50-51; Luke 17:25; Mark 11:14; Acts 2:40). Jesus may have meant that that generation would not disappear until the fulfillment of all that He had predicted had... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:1-38

The Widow’s Mite. Prophecy of the Fall of Jerusalem and the Second Advent1-4. The widow’s mite (Mark 12:41). See on Mk.5-36. Great prophecy of the Fall of Jerusalem and the Second Advent (Matthew 24:1; Mark 13:1). See on Mt. St. Luke distinguishes these two events more clearly than the other evangelists (Luke 21:24). He also describes Jerusalem as being ’surrounded by armies.’ This greater definiteness is held by some to indicate that St. Luke wrote after the fall of Jerusalem, and added... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 21:25-33

(25-33) And there shall be signs in the sun.—See Notes on Matthew 24:29-35, Mark 13:24-31, where the “signs” are defined as the “sun being darkened, and the moon not giving her light.”Distress of nations.—The Greek for the first noun means literally, constraint, the sense of being hemmed in, as when we say “in great straits.” It is used by St. Paul in 2 Corinthians 2:4, and not elsewhere in the New Testament. The word for “perplexity” is used by St. Luke only.The sea and the waves roaring.—The... read more
