Matthew 23:37--24:2

Judgment on Israel

23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, ³  you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! ⁴  How often I have longed ⁵  to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but ⁶  you would have none of it! ⁷  23:38 Look, your house is left to you desolate! 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’” ⁸ 

The Destruction of the Temple

24:1 Now ⁹  as Jesus was going out of the temple courts and walking away, his disciples came to show him the temple buildings. ¹⁰  24:2 And he said to them, ¹¹  “Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, ¹²  not one stone will be left on another. ¹³  All will be torn down!” ¹⁴ 

[9:3]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[14:4]  ² sn This seismic activity provides a means of escape from Jerusalem so that the Messiah (the Lord), whose feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, may destroy the wicked nations in the Kidron Valley (the v. of Jehoshaphat, or of “judgment of the Lord”) without harming the inhabitants of the city.

[23:37]  ³ sn The double use of the city’s name betrays intense emotion.

[23:37]  ⁴ tn Although the opening address (“Jerusalem, Jerusalem”) is direct (second person), the remainder of this sentence in the Greek text is third person (“who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her”). The following sentences then revert to second person (“your… you”), so to keep all this consistent in English, the third person pronouns in the present verse were translated as second person (“you who kill… sent to you”).

[23:37]  ⁵ sn How often I have longed to gather your children. Jesus, like a lamenting prophet, speaks for God here, who longed to care tenderly for Israel and protect her.

[23:37]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[23:37]  ⁷ tn Grk “you were not willing.”

[23:39]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Ps 118:26.

[24:1]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[24:1]  ¹⁰ sn The Jerusalem temple was widely admired around the world. See Josephus, Ant. 15.11 [15.380-425]; J. W. 5.5 [5.184-227] and Tacitus, History 5.8, who called it “immensely opulent.” Josephus compared it to a beautiful snowcapped mountain.

[24:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (ajpokriqei") is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[24:2]  ¹² tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[24:2]  ¹³ sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.

[24:2]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”
