4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
4 "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?"
4 "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?"
4 "Tell us, when is this going to happen? What sign will we get that things are coming to a head?"
4 "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?"
4 "Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to be fulfilled?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 13:4
Commentary on Mark 13:1-4
(Read Mark 13:1-4)
See how little Christ values outward pomp, where there is not real purity of heart. He looks with pity upon the ruin of precious souls, and weeps over them, but we do not find him look with pity upon the ruin of a fine house. Let us then be reminded how needful it is for us to have a more lasting abode in heaven, and to be prepared for it by the influences of the Holy Spirit, sought in the earnest use of all the means of grace.
