Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:27
They did eat, they drank, etc. - They spent their whole lives in reference to this world; and made no sort of provision for their immortal souls. So it was when the Romans came to destroy Judea; there was a universal carelessness, and no one seemed to regard the warnings given by the Son of God. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:29
