Luke 21:35

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 21:35

Luke 21:35. As a snare— As a net. Heylin. The exhortations which are connected with this verse, limit the extent of the word all to a considerable number; for, were it to be taken otherwise, there could have been no room to offer them. Instead of earth, some read land. 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 21:34-35

"That day" is the day of His return, not the destruction of Jerusalem, since it would come on all earth-dwellers (Luke 21:35). Jesus did not want His disciples to be unprepared for His return. He did not want them to be so self-indulgent and selfish that they disregarded His return. In that case it might catch them as a trap. Even though believers should be able to anticipate the Lord’s return by the signs that precede it (Luke 21:10-11; Luke 21:25-26), they may become so entangled in the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:34-36

6. The concluding exhortation to watchfulness 21:34-36 (cf. Matthew 24:42; Mark 13:33-37)Luke concluded his account of the Olivet Discourse with Jesus’ exhortation to remain ready for what He had predicted. Jesus’ words presupposed an interval before His coming, but He allowed that His coming might occur in the lifetime of His hearers. Nothing that He said precluded the passing of millennia before His coming. 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 21:35

(35) As a snare . . .—The word is not found in the other Gospels, but is used several times by St. Paul (Romans 11:9; 1 Timothy 3:7; 1 Timothy 6:9; 2 Timothy 2:26).Them that dwell . . .—Elsewhere in the New Testament, the verb is used in its literal meaning of “sitting.” In the sense of “dwelling” or “residing,” we find it, probably, again in Acts 2:2. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 21:1-38

The Presence of Christ (For Advent) Luke 21:5-6 This discourse of our Lord is one of the most difficult for us to follow and apply, and yet it has made a vivid impression on the imagination of the world. Our Advent hymns and services are full of reminiscences of it, while, like so much else in Holy Scripture, it has suffered from an irreverent literalism which has at times imposed too great a strain on the imagination until faith has closed her wings and dropped heavily to the earth. The Day... read more
