This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 17:34. Ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ, in this night [not as Engl. Vers. “in that night”]) He does not say, ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ “in that day,” comp. Luk 17:31 : Mat 26:31 [ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ, “All ye shall be offended because of Me this night”]. There are in our own day, saith He, persons who shall reach those times so widely different. Comp. the here in ch. Luk 9:27 [“There be some standing here,” etc., speaking of an event about to happen presently]. The event followed in the same generation: Mat 24:34 [“This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled”].-εἷς) [the one]. So very many MSS.: and the expression, εἷς-ὁ ἓτερος, is used just as ἑνὸς-τοῦ ἑτέρου [the one-the other], ch. Luk 16:13; and πέντε-καὶ αἱ πέντε in Mat 25:2.[192] Presently after, in Luk 17:35, Mill has omitted to notice, that in Luk 17:35 ἡ has also been omitted before μία, and that too in the text of Stephens’ Edition.[193]
[192] “The one set of five-and the other set of five.” So Scholz reads, αἱ πέντε; but Lachm. and Tisch. omit αἱ.-E. and T.
[193] In Luk 17:34 AD read εἷς. B (judging from the silence of the collations) and Rec. Text, ὁ εἷς. In Luk 17:35 ALXΔ read μία: and so Tisch. BD and Rec. Text (Elzev.), ἡ μία: and so Lachm.-E. and T.
