Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 21:29-38

Here, in the close of this discourse, I. Christ appoints his disciples to observe the signs of the times, which they might judge by, if they had an eye to the foregoing directions, with as much certainty and assurance as they could judge of the approach of summer by the budding forth of the trees, Luke 21:29-31.

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 21:25-37

21:25-37 And there will be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on earth the nations will be in distress and will not know what to do in the roaring of the sea and of the wave, while men's hearts will swoon from fear and from foreboding of the things that are coming on the world. The power of the heavens will be shaken; and then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with power and much glory. When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your hearts for your deliverance... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 21:30

When they now shoot forth ,.... Their buds, branches, and leaves; the Vulgate Latin adds, "of themselves": ye see and know of your own selves ; without any hint, or direction from others, the case is so plain and obvious; the Syriac and Arabic versions read, "of them"; the trees, by their putting forth their buds and leaves; the Persic and Ethiopic versions leave out the clause "of yourselves"; and none of the Oriental versions lead the word see: the summer is now nigh at hand : see ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 21:34

And take heed to yourselves ,.... To your souls and bodies, to your lives and conversations; be upon your watch and guard: lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness ; with excessive eating and drinking; for these, as they oppress and burden the stomach, and disorder the body, so they stupefy the senses, and make the mind dull and heavy, and unfit for spiritual and religious exercises; such as reading, meditation, and prayer: and cares of this life ; concealing... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 21:35

For as a snare shall it come ,.... In which a bird is suddenly taken, and cannot get out again; the Persic version renders it, "as lightning and the splendour of the sun"; which break out at once, and enlighten the whole earth; so the destruction of the Jewish nation should be sudden and unavoidable, and universal; for it should come on all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth : or land of Judea; and so it was, for not only Jerusalem, but all Judea, and Galilee, suffered in... read more
