Vers. 1. WHat manner of stones] Interrogatio admirantis, as if he should say, these stones (viz. of the Temple) what and how great are they?* 1.1 how faire and how great. Luke expresly mentions their fairenesse, Marke their greatnesse in the answer of Christ.
Vers. 11. Take no thought before hand what ye shall speake, neither do ye premeditate] Our Saviour forbiddeth his Apostles both to take care,* 1.2 and to take thought before hand when they were to appeare before great persons; both to forecast with themselves what to speak when they come before them,* 1.3 and to forethink how that they shall speak will be ta∣ken when they have spoken it.
Vers. 30. This generation shall not passe] The word signifieth the space of an hundred yeares, albeit this came to passe before fifty yeares.
Vers. 32. But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.] To know here is the same with to teach;* 1.4 what soever things he might teach, he did, but it did not agree to his office to declare the day of his comming, as 1 Cor. 2.2. to know is taken for to teach, as it is commonly said in French, Vn ministre ne doit scavoir que sa Bible. He knew it not as he was man, or in his state of humiliation he did not precisely know it, although he knew it as he was God, or he knoweth for himself, although he will not reveale it unto us.
