Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
all tears—Greek, "every tear."
no more death—Greek, "death shall be no more." Therefore it is not the millennium, for in the latter there is death (Isaiah 65:20; I Corinthians 15:26, I Corinthians 15:54, "the last enemy . . . destroyed is death," Revelation 20:14, after the millennium).
sorrow—Greek, "mourning."
passed away—Greek, "departed," as in Revelation 21:1.
