Luk 21:36. Ἀγρυπνεῖτε, watch) Mar 13:33.-ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ δεόμενοι [praying always], praying at every season) ch. Luk 18:1. At every season or time, whether these things [Luk 21:28; Luk 21:31], which are about to be immediately, are had regard to [viz. ταῦτα πάντα (Luk 21:31-32), these nearer events, which are about to befall the city.-Not. Crit.], or that (more remote) day, the day of the Son of Man: Luk 21:28; Luk 21:34. This brief sentence comprises the whole discourse concerning the city and the universal world.-ἐκφυγεῖν, to escape) suddenly.-σταθῆναι) As to the force of this word, see on Mat 12:25. [“Σταθῆναι, to be made to stand by another, to stand by the help of another; στῆναι, by one’s own strength.”-Ammonius.]
