Commentary on the Bible (1832)

The things which belong unto thy peace! - It is very likely that our Lord here alludes to the meaning of the word Jerusalem, ירושלים from ירה yereh, he shall see, and שלום shalom, peace or prosperity. Now, because the inhabitants of it had not seen this peace and salvation, because they had refused to open their eyes, and behold this glorious light of heaven which shone among them, therefore he said, Now they are hidden from thine eyes, still alluding to the import of the name.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

(See on Lu 13:9.) thy peace--glancing perhaps at the name of the city. (Heb 7:2) [WEBSTER and WILKINSON]. How much is included in this word! now . . . hid--It was His among His last open efforts to "gather them," but their eyes were judicially closed.
