Matthew 24:50 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Ver. 50. In a day when he looketh not, &c.] As he did to that rich fool (Stultitiam patiuntur opes, Wealth creates folly. Martial), who made account he had much good laid up in store for many years; but heard ere morning, Stulte, hac nocte "Thou fool, this night,"Luke 12:19,20. Then when like a jay he was pruning himself in the boughs, and thought least of death, he came tumbling down with the arrow in his side; his glass was run when he hoped it had been but new turned. Sic subito tollitur qui diu toleratur. So suddenly he destroys whom he endured for a long time. God shall shoot at such with an arrow suddenly,Psalms 64:7 .
