Context of Luke 17:29

27In Noah's time, people were eating their meals every day. Men and women continued to marry. They continued to do all this until the day when Noah went into his boat. Then it rained for a long time and there was deep water everywhere. The water killed all the people. 28The same kind of thing happened when Lot was alive. People in the city of Sodom were eating their meals every day. They were buying and selling things. They were planting their seeds and they were building their houses. But one day Lot went away from Sodom. On that same day, God caused it to rain fire and burning stones from the sky. This killed all the people in Sodom. 30It will happen quickly like that, on the day when I, the Son of Man, show myself clearly. 31On that day, a person who is up on the roof of his house must not go back down into the house. He must not get his things that are inside the house to take with him. In the same way, people that are working outside in their fields must not go back to their homes.

Commentaries on Luke 17:29

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29It rained fire and brimstone - Instead of it rained, Genesis 19:24; justifies the insertion of the pronoun he, as implied in the verb ; for it is there said that Jehovah rained fire and brimstone from Jehovah out of heaven.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28-30Verses 28-30 They did eat … - They were busy in the affairs of this life, as if nothing were about to happen. The same day … - See Genesis 19:23-25. “It rained.” The word here used “might” have been rendered “he” rained. In Genesis it is said that the “Lord” did it.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 20-37Verses 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.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 26-3026-30. eat ... married ... planted--all the ordinary occupations and enjoyments of life. Though the antediluvian world and the cities of the plain were awfully wicked, it is not their wickedness, but their worldliness, their unbelief and indifference to the future, their unpreparedness, that is here held up as a warning. Note.--These recorded events of Old Testament history--denied or explained away nowadays by not a few--are referred to here as facts.Read the comment
