Luke 21:35

ὡς παγίς. Ecclesiastes 9:12; Romans 11:9; 1 Timothy 3:7. There is the same metaphor in Isaiah 24:17. The common metaphor is “as a thief,” 1 Thessalonians 5:2; Revelation 3:3; Revelation 16:15.

ἐπεισελεύσεται. This classical double compound (BDL) is found here only in the N.T.

τοὺς καθημένους. A Hebraism (Genesis 19:30, &c.), but perhaps with the collateral notion of ‘sitting at ease,’ Jeremiah 8:14; Jeremiah 25:19 (LXX[370]). ‘Face of the earth,’ 2 Samuel 18:8.

[370] LXX. Septuagint.
