* shall fall.
This is an allusion to the Jewish mode of stoning. "The place
of stoning was twice as high as a man. From the top of this
one of the witnesses struck the culprit on the loins, and
felled him to the ground: if he died of this, well; if not,
the other witness threw a stone upon his heart," etc. Our
Lord seems to refer not only to the dreadful crushing of the
Jews by the Romans, but also to their general dispersion to
the present day.
