Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:13

It shall turn out unto you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or gainsay.This promise of inspiration for the occasion was never to all Christians, nor was the recommendation that they should not meditate beforehand what they would say. The Twelve are clearly in view here.Give you a mouth and wisdom ... These are symbolical words with the... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:12-15

Before the calamities of the Tribulation, Jesus’ disciples would experience persecution from their enemies spoken of generally here as "they." Jesus proceeded to describe what His disciples could expect from the time He spoke until His return. He warned them about what to expect so they would not yield to persecution.They would undergo examinations from hostile Jews in synagogues (cf. Matthew 10:17; Mark 13:9), and they would experience confinement in prisons. Gentiles also would arrest them... 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 21:7-19

(7-19) Master, but when shall these things be?—See Notes on Matthew 24:3-14; Mark 13:3-13. St. Luke omits the Mount of Olives as being the scene of the question and the prophecy, and the names of the questioners, the latter being given by St. Mark only. The variations in the report throughout imply an independent source—probably oral—of information, as distinct from transcription either from one of the Gospels or from a document common to both of them. On the whole, he agrees much more with St.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 21:13

(13) It shall turn to you for a testimony.—There are but two writers in the New Testament who use the verb (literally, to come out) in this figurative sense. St. Luke is one, and the other is St. Paul, in a passage so closely parallel to this as to read almost like an echo of it (Philippians 1:19). The “testimony” is defined by Mark 13:9, as being borne to the kings and rulers before whom the disciples were to stand. read more
