Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 24

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 24:38
  
  Flood: Or “deluge; cataclysm.” The Greek word ka·ta·kly·smosʹ denotes a large flood with destructive force, and the Bible uses the word with reference to the Deluge of Noah’s day.—Mt 24:39; Lu 17:27; 2Pe 2:5.
  
  ark: The Greek term can also be rendered “chest; box,” perhaps to denote that it was a large boxlike structure. In the Vulgate, this Greek word is rendered arca, meaning “box; chest,” from which the English term “ark” is derived.
