flee ye into another] Christ gives liberty for slight in case of persecution, partly for their own safetie and indemnitie, and partly also for the further propagation of the ministery of the Gospel into other places, which, through Gods providence, is by that means oftentimes brought about, Acts 13. 50, 51. and 14. 5, 6, 7.
ye shall not have gone over] Or, end, or finish: This shews, that they were not to slee for safetie alone, but to hasten their work, to teach all the cities of Israel: Unlesse the meaning be, Ye shall have some cities left to flee unto.
till the son of man be come] To destroy Jerusalem and the Jewish state. See on Matthew 16:28. For they did not slee from citie to citie, before his resurrection, but after, and then were their persecutions, Acts 8:1. and Acts 12:1. See on verse 16.
