Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 10:2

_ _ mourning — that is, afflicting myself by fasting from “pleasant bread, flesh and wine” (Daniel 10:3), as a sign of sorrow, not for its own sake. Compare Matthew 9:14, “fast,” answering to “mourn” (Daniel 10:15). Compare 1 Corinthians 8:8; 1 Timothy 4:3, which prove that “fasting” is not an indispensable Christian obligation; but merely an outward expression of sorrow, and separation from ordinary worldly enjoyments, in order to give one’s self to prayer (Acts 13:2). Daniel’s mourning was probably for his countrymen, who met with many obstructions to their building of the temple, from their adversaries in the Persian court.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 10:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 10:2

Was mourning — Because he foresaw the many calamities that would befall the Jews for their sins, especially for destroying the Messiah, and rejecting his gospel.
