John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop , etc.] Either for diversion or devotion, when he shall hear that the Roman armies are approaching to Jerusalem, to besiege it: and his stuff in the house ; or �his vessels�, his goods and furniture; or his utensils, and instruments of trade and business: let him not come down ; the inner way of the house, from the top: to take it away ; with him in his flight, but let him descend by the steps, or ladder, on the outside of the house, and make his escape directly to Pella, or the mountains: and he that is in the field ; at work, and has laid down his clothes in some certain part of the field, or at home: let him likewise not return back ; to fetch them, but make the best of his way as he is; (see Gill on � Matthew 24:17�) and (see Gill on � Matthew 24:18�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-37 - The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divin grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what stat the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Her is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man i revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roma armies, that nation was found in such a state of false security as i here spoken of. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judg the world, sinners will be found altogether regardless; for in lik manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, an remember not their latter end. But wherever the wicked are, who ar marked for eternal ruin, they shall be found by the judgments of God __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies

17:31 {Let him not go down} (me katabatw). Second aorist active imperative of katabainw with me in a prohibition in the third person singular. The usual idiom here would be me and the aorist subjunctive. See #Mr 13:15f.; Mt 24:17f. when these words occur in the great eschatological discussion concerning flight before the destruction of Jerusalem. Here the application is "absolute indifference to all worldly interests as the attitude of readiness for the Son of Man" (Plummer).
