Context of Mark 13:29

27Then he will send his angels. They will go in every direction, to every part of the earth and to every part of the sky. They will bring together all the people that God has chosen. 28Here is a lesson for you to learn about the fig tree. When the new branches on the tree start to grow, the leaves appear. Then you know that the summer will begin soon. In the same way, you will see these strange things happening. Then you will know that the Son of Man will come very soon. He will be like someone at the door who is ready to come in. 30I tell you this: The people who are alive now will not all die until all these things happen. 31One day, the earth and the sky will have an end. But my words will be there for ever.

Commentaries on Mark 13:29

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-37Verses 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…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 29He is near: The Greek text has no clear subject, so the choice between he is near or it is near depends on whether 13:29–30 refers to 13:4–23 or 13:24–27. The Berean Standard Bible understands it as referring to the return of the Son of Man. Since some words in 13:4 appear again in 13:29 and 30 (see study note on 13:28–31), others interpret it as referring to the destruction of Jerusalem. Just as the first leaves of a fig tree signal summer, "the…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. So ye, in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass--rather, "coming to pass." know that it--"the kingdom of God" (Lu 21:31). is nigh, even at the doors--that is, the full manifestation of it; for till then it admitted of no full development. In Luke (Lu 21:28) the following words precede these: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh"--their redemption, in the…Read the comment
