20. ἐπιάσθη. Like a thief or a rebel. The word is found oftener in the Fourth Gospel than in all the rest of the New Testament. It is found six times of schemes to ‘take’ Christ; twice in the narrative of the miraculous draught of fishes; twice in the Acts, once of the arrest of St Peter; once in St Paul of the attempt to arrest him at Damascus.

ὁ ψευδοπροφήτης. So called in Revelation 16:13; see Revelation 13:11 sqq.

τὰ σημεῖα. Those described in Revelation 13:13 sqq.

ζῶντες ἐβλήθησαν. In Daniel 7:11 the Beast is slain, and his body burnt. Perhaps the one indicates the fate of the empire, the other of its personal ruler.

τῆς καιομένης. As if after τὸ πῦρ τῆς λίμνης, cf. Revelation 21:8 ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ τῇ καιομένῃ πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ.
