This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shalt thou be exalted? (mē hupsōthēsēi̱). Mē expects the answer No. The verb is future passive indicative second singular of hupsoō, to lift up, a late verb from hupsos, height. It is used by Jesus of the Cross (Joh 12:32).
Unto Hades (heōs Haidou). See note on Mat 16:18 for this word which is here in contrast to Heaven as in Isa 14:13-15. Hades is not Gehenna. “The desolation of the whole neighbourhood, and the difficulty of identifying even the site of these flourishing towns, is part of the fulfilment of this prophecy” (Plummer). Ragg notes the omission of Nazareth from this list of cities of neglected privilege and opportunity. “Is it the tender memories of boyhood that keep from His lips the name of the arch-rejector (Luk 4:28 sqq.) Nazareth?”
