32 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
32 "But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
32 "But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father.
32 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
32 "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 13:32
Commentary on Mark 13:28-37
(Read Mark 13:28-37)
We have the application of this prophetic sermon. As to the destruction of Jerusalem, expect it to come very shortly. As to the end of the world, do not inquire when it will come, for of that day and that hour knoweth no man. Christ, as God, could not be ignorant of anything; but the Divine wisdom which dwelt in our Saviour, communicated itself to his human soul according to the Divine pleasure. As to both, our duty is to watch and pray. Our Lord Jesus, when he ascended on high, left something for all his servants to do. We ought to be always upon our watch, in expectation of his return. This applies to Christ's coming to us at our death, as well as to the general judgment. We know not whether our Master will come in the days of youth, or middle age, or old age; but, as soon as we are born, we begin to die, and therefore we must expect death. Our great care must be, that, whenever our Lord comes, he may not find us secure, indulging in ease and sloth, mindless of our work and duty. He says to all, Watch, that you may be found in peace, without spot, and blameless.
