This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Behold - shame

These words are parenthetical.

As a thief

Compare Mat 24:43; Luk 12:39; 1Th 5:2, 1Th 5:4; 2Pe 3:10.

Watcheth (γρηρορῶν)

See on Mar 13:35; see on 1Pe 5:8.

Keepeth his garments

“During the night the captain of the Temple made his rounds. On his approach the guards had to rise and salute him in a particular manner. Any guard found asleep when on duty was beaten, or his garments were set on fire. The confession of one of the Rabbins is on record that, on a certain occasion, his own maternal uncle had actually undergone the punishment of having his clothes set on fire by the captain of the Temple” (Edersheim, “The Temple,” etc.).

Shame (ἀσχημοσύνην)

Only here and Rom 1:27. From ἀ not and σχῆμα fashion. Deformity, unseemliness; nearly answering to the phrase not in good form.
