Footnotes

19.41-44 These moving words spoken over the city are full of scriptural allusions. Moreover, the details given could apply as well to the siege of 587 b.c as to that of a.d. 70. It is not safe, therefore, to argue from this passage that the fall of the city had already taken place when Luke wrote his Gospel.
