Context of Mark 13:30

28“Learn from the story of the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and it sprouts leaves, you know summer is near. 29In the same way, when you see these things happen, you know that he is near, at the door. “I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all these things take place. 31The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear. 32“No one knows when that day or hour will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son don’t know. Only the Father knows.

Commentaries on Mark 13:30

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30This generation - ̔ ̔, This very race of men. It is certain that this word has two meanings in the Scriptures; that given in the text, and that above. Generation signifies a period of a certain number of years, sometimes more, sometimes less. In Deuteronomy 1:35; Deuteronomy 2:14, Moses uses the word to point out a term of thirty-eight years, which was precisely the number in the present case; for Jerusalem was destroyed about thirty-eight years after our…Read the comment
• 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.

Some think it refers to the Jewish people continuing to exist through history. Others believe it means the whole human race, the Christian community, or the final generation…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3030. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass fill all these things be done--or "fulfilled" (Mt 24:34; Lu 21:32). Whether we take this to mean that the whole would be fulfilled within the limits of the generation then current, or, according to a usual way of speaking, that the generation then existing would not pass away without seeing a begun fulfilment of this prediction, the facts entirely correspond. For either the whole was fulfilled…Read the comment
