Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:1-51

Matthew 24:1 . The buildings of the temple. Herod had gradually rebuilt the temple, taking down one part, and raising it anew, so that the worship was not interrupted. Hence it was still the second temple renovated; the vessels, the priests, and even all the stones fit for use were still employed. After consulting a body of sacred critics on this subject, I find Dr. Lightfoot bears the palm. He does not detail lexicons, but being himself a rabbin of the first class, he everywhere... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:42-51

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:44

44. Therefore be ye also ready As, like the householder, ye know not at what hour, or at which watch, the spoiler will come, so all the night is watch time. Be ye, like the householder, at all time ready. For the individual death is the virtual coming of the Son of man. Not that the coming of the Son of man here is death, nor truly to be identified with death; but the being on the watch for judgment is pressed instead of the being on the watch for death, inasmuch as death is nothing but... read more
