And not a hair of your head shall perish.
Clarke's Luke 21:18 Bible Commentary
But there shall not a hair of your head perish - A proverbial expression for, Ye shall not suffer any essential injury. Every genuine Christian shall escape when this desolation comes upon the Jewish state.
Barnes's Luke 21:18 Bible Commentary
A hair of your head perish - This is a proverbial expression, denoting that they should not suffer any essential injury. This was strikingly fulfilled in the fact that in the calamities of Jerusalem there is reason to believe that no Christian suffered. Before those calamities came on the city they had fled to "Pella," a city on the east of the Jordan. See the notes at Matthew 24:18.
Wesley's Luke 21:18 Bible Commentary
21:18 Not a hair of your head - A proverbial expression, shall perish - Without the special providence of God. And then, not before thetime, nor without A full reward.
