for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 24. For as the lightning, and so forth See Matthew 24:27. Witham.—Christ here alludes to the glory with which he shall appear when he shall come to judge the world, surrounded by his angels, and so forth when he will appear like lightning, that shall penetrate the inmost recesses of our souls, and shall suffer no crime, not even the slightest thought of our souls, to pass unnoticed. This is the time when he will manifest his glory, and not on his entry into Jerusalem, as the disciples imagined: for he informs them, that he will then have to suffer a cruel death. Ven. Bede.
