Luke 21:9

9 cum autem audieritis proelia et seditiones nolite terreri oportet primum haec fieri sed non statim finis

Luke 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:9

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions
Or seditions and tumults; "wars" may design the wars of the Romans, against the Jews; and the "commotions", or seditions, the internal troubles among themselves: be not terrified;
as if the destruction of the nation, city, and temple, would be at once: for these things must first come to pass, but the end is not by
and by;
or "immediately". The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions leave out this last word, and read, as in (See Gill on Matthew 24:6).

Luke 21:9 In-Context

7 interrogaverunt autem illum dicentes praeceptor quando haec erunt et quod signum cum fieri incipient

8 qui dixit videte ne seducamini multi enim venient in nomine meo dicentes quia ego sum et tempus adpropinquavit nolite ergo ire post illos

9 cum autem audieritis proelia et seditiones nolite terreri oportet primum haec fieri sed non statim finis

10 tunc dicebat illis surget gens contra gentem et regnum adversus regnum

11 terraemotus magni erunt per loca et pestilentiae et fames terroresque de caelo et signa magna erunt
