Luke 17. 26. they were eating and drinking] The word is proper to brute-beasts, and it shews, that in those days men should be given to sensuality, like brute-beasts, and live securely, taking care for nothing else. It may also import luxury and riotousnes, as v. 49. and giving in marriage] See on chap. 22. 30.
