Greek Commentary for Luke 21:22
Articular infinitive passive to express purpose with accusative of general reference. The O.T. has many such warnings (Hosea 9:7; Deuteronomy 28:49-57, etc.). [source]

Instrumental case of στοματι stomati which means “mouth” literally (Genesis 34:26). This verse like the close of 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. [source]
An unfortunate rendering, because of the personal feeling of vindictiveness which attaches to the popular usage. Rev. avenging is little, if any, better. It is rather meting out of justice; doing justice to all parties. See on Luke 18:3; see on Luke 21:22. The word has, however, the sense of requital (see on Romans 12:19; compare 2 Thessalonians 1:8), and carries with it, etymologically, the sense of vindication, as Luke 18:7, Luke 18:8. Bengel remarks that the six results of godly sorrow fall into pairs: clearing and indignation relating to the disgrace of the Church; fear and longing (vehement desire) to the apostle; zeal and avenging to the offender.

Diligence, from σπευδω speudō to hasten. Cf. Romans 12:11. Yea (αλλα alla). Not adversative use of αλλα alla but copulative as is common (half dozen examples here). Clearing of yourselves In the old notion of απολογια apologia (self-vindication, self-defence) as in 1 Peter 3:15. Indignation (αγανακτησιν aganaktēsin). Old word, only here in N.T. From αγανακτεο aganakteo (Mark 10:14, etc.). Avenging Late word from εκδικεω ekdikeō to avenge, to do justice (Luke 18:5; Luke 21:22), vindication from wrong as in Luke 18:7, to secure punishment (1 Peter 2:14). Pure (αγνους hagnous). Kin to αγιος hagios (αζω hazō to reverence), immaculate. [source]
