The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:33

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away . A general conclusion to the whole prophecy. "No word of mine," said the Master, "will ever pass away unfulfilled. Some of you will even live to see the terrible fulfillment of the first part of these utterances. All that mighty pile of buildings called Jerusalem will pass away, but my words which told of their coming ruin will remain. All this vast creation, earth, and stars will disappear in their turn, but these sayings... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:33

The immortality of Christian truth. These striking words suggest to us— I. CHRIST 'S CONSCIOUS CONNECTION WITH THE ETERNAL FATHER . Had there not been in him a profound and abiding consciousness that, in a sense far transcending our own experience, God dwelt in him and he in God, these words would have been wholly indefensible; they would have been in the last degree immodest. Proceeding from any other than the Son of God himself, they would have simply repelled us, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:34

And take heed to yourselves . The Master ended his discourse with an earnest practical reminder to his disciples to live ever with the sure expectation of his return to judgment. As for those who heard him then, conscious of the oncoming doom of the city, temple, and people, with the solemn procession of signs heralding the impending ruin ever before their eyes, no passions or cares of earth surely would hinder them from living the brave, pure life worthy of his servants. As for coming... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:34

Christian and unchristian carefulness. Take care not to be overtaken and overweighted by care is the simple and intelligible paradox of the text; in other words, have a wise care lest you have much care that is unwise. There is a carefulness that is eminently godly and worthy, the absence of which is not only faulty and dangerous, but even guilty and fatal; but there is another carefulness which is an excess, a wrong, an injury in the last degree. I. A WISE ORDINATION OF GOD .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:36

Standing before Christ. "Watch … and pray that ye may be accounted worthy … to stand before the Son of man." What is involved in this worthiness? It must include our being— I. PREPARED TO GIVE ACCOUNT TO HIM . We know that we shall have to do that ( Romans 10:1-21 ; 2 Corinthians 5:10 ); and we must expect, when we do stand before the Judge, to account to Jesus Christ for II. CONFORMED TO HIS LIKENESS , Will not our Lord expect to find those who professed to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:37

And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the Mount of Olives . This brief picture of the last days of public work is retrospective. This was how our Lord spent "Palm Sunday" and the Monday and Tuesday of the last week. The prophetic discourse reported in this twenty-first chapter was, most probably, spoken on the afternoon of Tuesday. After Tuesday evening he never entered the temple as a public Teacher again. Wednesday... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 21:5

Goodly stones - Beautiful stones. Either referring to the large, square, and well-finished stones of which the eastern wall was built, or to the precious stones which might have been used in decorating the temple itself. See the notes at Mark 13:1.Gifts - This word properly denotes anything devoted or dedicated to God. Anciently warriors dedicated to their gods the spoils of war - the shields, and helmets, and armor, and garments of those slain in battle. These were suspended in the temples. It... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 21:7-36

The account of the destruction of Jerusalem contained in this chapter has been fully considered in the notes at Matthew 24:0. All that will be necessary here will be an explanation of a few words that did not occur in that chapter.Luke 21:9Commotions - Insurrections. Subjects rising against their rulers.Luke 21:11Fearful sights - See Matthew 24:7.Luke 21:12, Luke 21:13Synagogues, and into prisons - See the notes at Mark 13:9-10.Luke 21:14Settle it, therefore, in your hearts - Fix it firmly in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 21:37-38

See the notes at Matthew 21:17.Came early in the morning - He returned early from the Mount of Olives, and taught in the temple. Our Saviour did not waste his mornings in idleness or sleep. He rose early and repaired to the temple. The people, also, flocked to the sanctuary to hear him. This example is at once an encouragement to early rising and to the early worship of God. It is a reproof of those who spend the part of the day best fitted for devotion in unnecessary sleep; and it shows the... read more
