Mat 24:13 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 13. But he that shall endure ] The persecutions that shall come- unto the end ; to the destruction of the Jewish polity, without growing cold or apostatizing- shall be saved , shall be delivered in all imminent dangers, and have his soul at last brought to an eternal glory. It is very remarkable that not a single Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem, though there were many there when Cestius Gallus invested the city; and, had he persevered in the siege, he would soon have rendered himself master of it; but, when he unexpectedly and unaccountably raised the siege, the Christians took that opportunity to escape.
