Matthew 24:28

New English Translation

Footnotes

1. Matthew 24:28 tn The same Greek term can refer to “eagles” or “vultures” (L&N 4.42; BDAG 22 s.v. ἀετός), but in this context it must mean vultures because the gruesome image is one of dead bodies being consumed by scavengers.sn Jesus’ answer is that when the judgment comes, the scenes of death will be obvious and so will the location of the judgment. See also Luke 17:37.
2. Matthew 24:28 tn Grk “will be gathered.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in English.
