Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 9, 10. - Wars and commotions... nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Josephus the Jewish, and Tacitus the Roman, historian - the former in his 'Jewish Wars,' and the latter in his 'Annals' - describe the period which immediately followed the Crucifixion as full of wars, crimes, violences, earthquakes. "It was a time," says Tacitus, "rich in disasters, horrible with battles, torn with seditions, savage even in peace itself."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Commotions.--The word does not occur in the other Gospels, but is used by St. Paul in 1Corinthians 14:33 ("confusion"), 2Corinthians 6:5; 2Corinthians 12:20 ("tumults"). Its exact meaning is unsettlement, disorder.Be not terrified.--The word is used by St. Luke only, here and in Luke 24:37, in the New Testament.By and by.--Better, as elsewhere, immediately.
