Commentary

Commentary on Luke 19:44

Theological / Devotional

Even with the ground. See on Matt. 24:2.

One stone upon another. Probably here a hyperbolic figure of speech indicating complete destruction.

Visitation. See on Ps. 8:4; 59:5. That is, for the sins of the nation, particularly their rejection of the messengers of mercy God had sent them from time to time (see on Matt. 23:34, 35). Retribution for all these crimes was to “come upon this generation” (see on Matt. 23:36, 37; Luke 19:41).
