Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Be not terrified (mh ptohqhte). First aorist passive subjunctive with mh from ptoew an old verb to terrify, from ptoa, terror. In the N.T. only here and Luke 24:37.
First (Prwton). It is so easy to forget this and to insist that the end is "immediately" in spite of Christ's explicit denial here. See Mat. 24:4-42; Mark 13:1-37 for discussion of details for Luke 21:8-36, the great eschatological discourse of Jesus
