Commentary on Luke 21:34

Theological / Devotional

Surfeiting. Gr. kraipalē, “intoxication,” or “a drunken headache,” from kras, “head,” and pallō, “to sway,” or “to toss about.” Greek medical writers used kraipalē in reference to the nausea and stupor following a drunken debauch.

Cares. That is, “anxieties,” “worries.”
