This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
this generation? A significant expression, occurring sixteen times (Mat_11:16; Mat_12:41, Mat_12:42; Mat_23:36; Mat_24:34. Mar_8:12, Mar_8:12; Mar_13:30. Luk_7:31; Luk_11:30, Luk_11:31, Luk_11:32, Luk_11:50, Luk_11:51; Luk_17:25; Luk_21:32). Characterized by other epithets, "evil" and "adulterous" (Mat_12:39, Mat_12:45; Mat_16:4. Mar_8:38. Luk_11:29); "faithless and perverse" (Mat_17:17. Mar_9:19. Luk_9:41); "untoward" (Act_2:40). All this because it was the particular generation that rejected the Messiah.
children = little children. Dim. of pais. App-108.
fellows = companions. Greek. hetairos. Some of the texts read "others" (i.e. heteros for hetairos). Occurs only here; Mat_20:13; Mat_22:12; and Mat_26:50 ("friend").
