34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left.
34 "On that Day, two men will be in the same boat fishing - one taken, the other left.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.
34 That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 17:34
Commentary on Luke 17:20-37
(Read Luke 17:20-37)
The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them. It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divine grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what state the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Here is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roman armies, that nation was found in such a state of false security as is here spoken of. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world, sinners will be found altogether regardless; for in like manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, and remember not their latter end. But wherever the wicked are, who are marked for eternal ruin, they shall be found by the judgments of God.
