Context of Mark 13:31
29In 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. One day, the earth and the sky will have an end. But my words will be there for ever. 32Nobody knows the day or the hour when all these things will happen. Only God the Father knows when they will happen. The angels who are in heaven do not know. Even the Son does not know. 33Watch carefully! Keep awake! You do not know the time when all these things will happen.

Commentaries on Mark 13:31
- 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. 31Jesus personally guaranteed what he had said. My words include what Jesus said in Mark 13:1–37. Mark’s audience would have understood this as guaranteeing the truth of all the teachings of Jesus known to them (Luke 1:2). Like the Old Testament Scriptures (see Isa 40:8), the words of Jesus are eternal. His teachings are more permanent than the basic parts of creation itself. The basic elements of creation will pass away (see also Ps 102:25–26; Isa 40:6–8…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3131. Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away--the strongest possible expression of the divine authority by which He spake; not as Moses or Paul might have said of their own inspiration, for such language would be unsuitable in any merely human mouth. Warnings to Prepare for the Coming of Christ Suggested by the Foregoing Prophecy (Mr 13:32-37). It will be observed that, in the foregoing prophecy, as our Lord approaches the crisis…Read the comment
