Mark 13:32-37 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 13:28-37

We have here the application of this prophetical sermon; now learn to look forward in a right manner. I. ?As to the destruction of Jerusalem, expect it to come very shortly; as when the branch of the fig-tree becomes soft, and the leaves sprout forth, ye expect that summer will come shortly, Mark 13:28. When second causes begin to work, ye expect their effects in their proper order and time. So when ye see these things come to pass, when ye see the Jewish nation embroiled in wars, distracted... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 13:1-37

Mark 13:1-37 is one of the most difficult chapters in the New Testament for a modern reader to understand. That is because it is one of the most Jewish chapters in the Bible. From beginning to end it is thinking in terms of Jewish history and Jewish ideas. All through it Jesus is using categories and pictures which were very familiar to the Jews of his day, but which are very strange, and indeed, unknown, to many modern readers. Even so, it is not possible to disregard this chapter because... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 13:32

But of that day, and of that hour ,.... Of Jerusalem's destruction; for of nothing else had Christ been speaking; and, it is plain, the words are anaphorical, and relate to what goes before: knoweth no man ; nay, they that lived to see it, and have spoken of it, are not agreed about the particular day, when it was; much less did they know it beforehand, or could speak of it, and make it known to others: no, not the angels which are in heaven ; who are acquainted with many of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 13:33

Take ye heed, watch and pray ,.... This seems to be the principal reason why the day and hour of Jerusalem's destruction, though known by the Father, were not made known to any man, neither to the angels, nor by them; nor to the son of man in the days of his flesh, nor by him when on earth; that his people might be upon their guard, against false Christs, and prophets, and their deception; and watch unto prayer, and in it, lest they fell into temptation, and that day should come upon them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 13:34

For the son of man is as a man taking a far journey ,.... Or this case of the son of man's coming to take vengeance on the Jewish nation, is like a man that takes a journey into a far country. This puts me in mind of a question asked F13 Misn. Pesachim, c. 9. sect. 2. by the Jews: "what דרך רחוקה , "a far journey" from Modiim, and without.' from Modiim, according to the Gemara F14 T. Bab. Pesachim, fol. 93. 2. , and commentators F15 Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 13:35

Watch ye therefore ,.... Against false Christs, and false prophets; over yourselves, and the whole church; for the words are particularly addressed to the disciples of Christ: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh ; when Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven, and in earth, is named, who is a Son in his own house, is an high priest over the house of God, and Lord of his church and people, whom he has bought with his blood, and provides for with his grace, and by his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 13:36

Lest coming suddenly ,.... Unthought of, and unexpected, at an unawares: he find you sleeping ; inactive in the exercise of grace, and negligent in the performance of duty; unprepared for his coming, and unfit for service. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 13:37

And what I say unto you ,.... The four disciples, Peter, James, John, and Andrew; who came privately to him, and put to him the questions, which occasioned this long discourse; see Mark 13:3 . I say unto all . The Syriac and Persic versions read, "you all"; meaning all the rest of his apostles, and all his disciples and followers in Jerusalem, and in all Judea; who were all concerned in these things, and whom it became to watch , and be upon their guard, and cast off all sloth and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 13:32

Neither the Son - This clause is not found either in Matthew or Luke; and Ambrose says it was wanting in some Greek copies in his time. To me it is utterly unaccountable, how Jesus, who knew so correctly all the particulars which he here lays down, and which were to a jot and tittle verified by the event - how he who knew that not one stone should be left on another, should be ignorant of the day and hour when this should be done, though Daniel, Daniel 9:24 , etc., could fix the very year,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 13:34

Left his house - Οικιαν , family. Our blessed Lord and Master, when he ascended to heaven, commanded his servants to be faithful and watchful. This fidelity to which he exhorts his servants consists in doing every thing well which is to be done, in the heart or in the family, according to the full extent of the duty. The watchfulness consists in suffering no stranger nor enemy to enter in by the senses, which are the gates of the soul; in permitting nothing which belongs to the Master to... read more
