Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:5-24

The Coming Destruction Of The Temple (21:5-24). The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD is now for us a simple fact of history of which today many are unaware, and most see it as almost an irrelevance, but its implications were in fact huge for us all. To the disciples, and the Jews of Jesus’ day, and in fact to the whole history of the Christian world, its significance was certainly immense. For the Temple was seen by many Jews, and even by large numbers of Christian Jews, both... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:5-36

Prophecy Concerning the Destruction of the Temple, the Scattering of the Jews, and the Coming of the Son of Man (21:5-36). This passage connects with the last in that the disciples begin to discuss the offerings that had resulted in the building of the glorious Temple which they could see before them, first as they left the Temple, and then as they sat on the Mount of Olives (Marl Luke 13:3-4). These had been great indeed. Tens of thousand of people who flocked to the Temple would be amazed... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:12-19

The Coming Ministry of the Apostles And Its Consequences (21:12-19). Meanwhile, while all these things are going on, the Apostles and those who follow them must be involved in testimony to the world, and must recognise that they will face hatred and persecution because they are His (see John 15:18-19; John 16:1-3; Acts 8:1; Acts 9:1 and regularly for Paul throughout Acts). read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:16

“But you will be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends, and some of you they will cause to be put to death.” The evidence of Jesus’ fire being cast on earth is now forthcoming (compare Luke 12:53 with 49). Even their own families and friends will betray them as Christians, denouncing them to the authorities and taking action against them. Note how this statement is central in the chiasmus of the passage. It is the very heart of what they will have to face in the... read more

Luke 21:5-Zephaniah : . The Eschatological Discourse (Mark 13*, Matthew 24*).— Lk. follows Mk., though with certain modifications and amplifications.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 21:7-38

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 21:7. And they asked Him.—St. Mark tells us (Luke 13:3) that the questioners were the apostles Peter, John, James and Andrew. The discourse that follows is related by the two first evangelists as having been uttered on the Mount of Olives. St. Luke does not mention the place, and but for the parallel reports of the discourse we might have supposed that it was given in the Temple. There is, however, a break after Luke 21:7, which agrees with the change of place. We are,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 21:1-38

Chapter 21And he looked up, and he saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites ( Luke 21:1-2 ).A mite was one-sixteenth of a penny. In other words, it took sixteen mites to make a penny. Two mites would be an eighth of a penny. Now here are these rich people putting in their great gifts and this certain poor little widow goes up...and there in the temple the offering things are sort of like a horn and they would drop... read more
