Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:37

And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet. And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.And every day ... The fact that Jesus taught "every day" of the final week contradicts the near-unanimous opinions of scholars to the effect that "Wednesday and Thursday were spent in retirement."[38] Robertson, in his "Harmony of the Gospels," scheduled no word or event from Jesus on Wednesday, and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 21:37

Luke 21:37. And in the day-time he was teaching— Our Lord's custom at this, and, it may be, at other passovers, was, to spend the day in the city, most commonly in the temple, where he always found a great concourse of hearers;—and in the evening to retire to the mount of Olives, where he lodged in the villages, or in the gardens, or in the open air among the trees. He chose to lodge at night in such places as these, not solely for the sake of prayer,—being desirous to secure that only season... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:37-38

E. A summary of Jesus’ ministry in Jerusalem 21:37-38This summary is unique to Luke’s Gospel. The writer included it to round off this phase of Jesus’ ministry. During the Passion Week Jesus spent His days teaching in the temple area, probably Tuesday through Thursday. He must have presented Himself as the God-man and called on His hearers to believe on Him. At night He would go out to Mt. Olivet, probably with the Twelve, to pray and sleep. He may have stayed with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in... 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 21:37

(37) In the day time . . . at night.—Literally, in the days . . . the nights, the words pointing to the mode in which the week was spent from the first day to the evening of the fifth.Abode.—The word is better translated lodged in Matthew 21:12. Strictly speaking, it meant to lodge, not in a room, but in the court-yard of a house; and so was used generally, in military language, for a “bivouac.” It would seem to have been chosen by both Evangelists (it does not occur elsewhere in the New... 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
