Luke 21:35 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

As a snare... — The word is not found in the other Gospels, but is used several times by St. Paul (Romans 11:9; 1 Timothy 3:7; 1 Timothy 6:9; 2 Timothy 2:26).

Them that dwell... — Elsewhere in the New Testament, the verb is used in its literal meaning of “sitting.” In the sense of “dwelling” or “residing,” we find it, probably, again in Acts 2:2.

Luke 21:35

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
