Vv. 20-33. Parabolic enforcement of the lesson (Mt. xxiv. 32-35, Mk. xiii. 28- 31).—Ver. 29. καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα: added by Lk., generalising as in ix. 23: ‘take up his cross daily”. The lesson is taught by all the trees, but parabolic style demands special reference to one particular tree.—mpoBddwouv, put forth (their leaves, τὰ Φύλλα understood). Similar phrases in Greek authors.—Bhe- ποντες, etc., when ye look (as who does not when spring returns!) ye know of ‘yourselves, need no one to tell you.—Ver. 31. ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ, explaining the elliptical but not obscure words in Mt. and Mk.: “ (it) is near,” z.e., the coming of the Son of man. For Lk. that is one with the coming of the Kingdom, which again = redemption in ver. 28.—Vv. 32, 33: with slight change as in parallels, even to the retention of ἁμὴν usually re- placed by ἀληθῶς. Presumably ἡ yevea αὕτη means for Lk., as it must have done for the Twelve to whom the words were spoken, the generation to which Jesus Himself belonged. Hahn holds that airy refers to the generation within whose time the events mentioned in wv. 25, 26 shail happen (so also Klostermann).
Vv. 34-36. General exhortation to watchfulness, peculiar to Lk. ; each evan- gelist having his own epilogue.—év κραιπάλῄῃ καὶ µέθῃ: this seems to be a phrase similar to ἠχοῦς καὶ σάλου--
sound and wave for sounding wave (ver. 25) =in headache (from yesterday’s in- toxication) and drunkenness, for :. in drunkenness which causes headache and stupidity. Pricaeus denies that κραιπάλη (here only in N.T.) means yesterday’s debauch (χθεσινὴ μέθη), and takes it = ἀδηφαγία, gluttony. That is what we expect certainly. The warning he under- stands figuratively. So also Bleek.— pepipvats βιωτικαῖς, cares of life, “' what shall we eat, drink?” etc. (xii. 22).—Ver. 35. ὡς παγὶς, as a snare, joined to the foregoing clause in R.V. (‘‘and that day come upon you suddenly as a snare”’). Field objects that the verb following (ἐπεισελεύσεται) does not seem suff- ciently strong to stand alone, especially when the verb ἐπιστῇ is doubly em- phasised by ‘‘suddenly” and “as a snare’, He therefore prefers the T.R., which connects ὡς παγὶς with what follows, the arrangement adopted in all the ancient versions. The revisers, as if conscious of the force of the above objections, insert “so,” ‘‘ for so shall it come,” etc., which virtually gives as παγὶς a double connection. The figure of a snare, while expressive, is less apposite than that of a thief (xii. 39).— καθηµένους ε. π., etc., sitting on the face of the earth; the language here has a Hebrew colouring.—Ver. 36. ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, in every 5εβ5οπ.--κατισχύσητε,
