Luke 21:24
Compare all
22 For these are the days of vengeance, that aall things which are written may be fulfilled.  
23 aBut woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.  
24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles auntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.  

The Coming of the Son of Man

25 a“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;  
26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, afor the powers of the heavens will be shaken.  
27 Then they will see the Son of Man acoming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Luke 21:24

Edge of the sword (stomati maxairhv). Instrumental case of stomati which means "mouth" literally (Genesis 34:26). This verse like the close of verse Luke 21:22 is only in Luke. Josephus (War, VI. 9.3) states that 1,100,000 Jews perished in the destruction of Jerusalem and 97,000 were taken captive. Surely this is an exaggeration and yet the number must have been large.

Shall be led captive (aixmalwtisqhsontai). Future passive of aixmalwtizw from aixmh, spear and alwtov (aliskomai). Here alone in the literal sense in the N.T.

Shall be trodden under foot (estai patoumenh). Future passive periphrastic of patew, to tread, old verb.

Until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled (axri ou plhrwqwsin kairoi eqnwn). First aorist passive subjunctive with axri ou like ewv ou. What this means is not clear except that Paul in Romans 11:25 shows that the punishment of the Jews has a limit. The same idiom appears there also with axri ou and the aorist subjunctive.
