Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Luk 17:24 - Lighteneth

Lighteneth ( astraptousa ).

An old and common verb, though only here and Luk 24:4 in the N.T. The second coming will be sudden and universally visible. There are still some poor souls who are waiting in Jerusalem under the delusion that Jesus will come there and nowhere else.

Vincent: Luk 17:24 - Lighteneth

Lighteneth ( ἀστράπτουσα )

Only here and Luk 24:4.

Wesley: Luk 17:24 - So shall also the Son of man be

So swift, so wide, shall his appearing be: In his day - The last day.

JFB: Luk 17:20-25 - when, &c.

To meet the erroneous views not only of the Pharisees, but of the disciples themselves, our Lord addresses both, announcing the coming of the kingdom under different aspects.

JFB: Luk 17:20-25 - It cometh not with observation

With watching or lying in wait, as for something outwardly imposing and at once revealing itself.

JFB: Luk 17:24 - as lightning . . . so . . . the Son of man

That is it will be as manifest. The Lord speaks here of His coming and manifestation in a prophetically indefinite manner, and in these preparatory words blends into one the distinctive epochs [STIER]. When the whole polity of the Jews, civil and ecclesiastical alike, was broken up at once, and its continuance rendered impossible by the destruction of Jerusalem, it became as manifest to all as the lightning of heaven that the kingdom of God had ceased to exist in its old, and had entered on a new and perfectly different form. So it may be again, ere its final and greatest change at the personal coming of Christ, and of which the words in their highest sense are alone true.

Clarke: Luk 17:24 - As the lightning, that lighteneth

As the lightning, that lighteneth - See this particularly explained, Mat 24:27, Mat 24:28 (note).

Defender: Luk 17:24 - as the lightning

No matter how difficult the situation becomes, the believer must always reject any claims that Christ has already come and is hiding somewhere (Luk 17:21; Mat 24:26). When He does first come, believers will suddenly be translated from this earth into His presence (Luk 17:34-36; 1Th 4:16, 1Th 4:17). When He later finally comes again to the earth itself, His presence will hardly be secret, for it will be seen all over the world."

Poole: Luk 17:23-24 - the day of the Son of man

Ver. 23,24. See Poole on "Mat 24:23" , See Poole on "Mat 24:27" . You will (saith our Saviour) have a great many false Christs and false prophets arise, and foolish credulous people will be deceived by them, and come and tell you, Lo, yonder is the Messiah, or, Lo, he is in another place; but believe them not. So it is in Mar 13:21 . Follow them not, saith Luke. The Son of man shall have his day, a day when he will come in a glorious manner to judge the quick and the dead; but it will come upon the world like lightning, that suddenly shineth from one part of heaven to another, so as no man can foretell it, or observe the motion of it. Some do think that by

the day of the Son of man here was meant the spreading of his gospel; but certainly it is a strained sense, nor was the spreading of that a thing so sudden, but more gradually and observably accomplished.

Haydock: Luk 17:24 - For as lightning

For as lightning, &c. See Matthew xxiv. 27. (Witham) ---

Christ here alludes to the glory with which he shall appear when he shall come to judge the world, surrounded by his angels, &c. when he will appear like lightning, that shall penetrate the inmost recesses of our souls, and shall suffer no crime, not even the slightest thought of our souls, to pass unnoticed. This is the time when he will manifest his glory, and not on his entry into Jerusalem, as the disciples imagined: for he informs them, that he will then have to suffer a cruel death. (Ven. Bede)

Gill: Luk 17:24 - For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven // and shineth unto the other part under heaven // so shall also the son of man be in his day

For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven,.... The Syriac version reads, "out of heaven", and the Arabic version, "in heaven"; which is the seat of lightning, and from whence it arises:

and shineth unto the other part under heaven; enlightens the earth, which is under the heaven: though the sense of the words, as they lie in the original text, seems to be, that as the lightning lightens at one end of the heavens, and shines to the other; which is done at once, in a moment, in a twinkling of the eye, and to which agrees the Ethiopic version;

so shall also the son of man be in his day: which is not to be understood of the swift progress of the Gospel, after his resurrection and ascension, and the pouring forth of his Spirit; but of his sudden coming, first to take vengeance on the Jewish nation for their rejection of him, and then at the last day, to judge both quick and dead. By his day, is meant his kingdom and glory, or his appearance with power, and great glory: Thus we read ^f for Solomon, בשעתו, "in his hour", that is, in his glory, in the time of his kingdom, when he was in his greatest magnificence.
