Jesus’ Great
Prophetic Discourse
Matthew 24:36–51; Mark 13:32–37; Luke
21:34–38
Mt 24:36“Now concerning that day and hour no one knowsneither the angels in heaven, nor the Son—except the Father only. 37As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38For in those days before the Flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark. 39They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be: 40Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one left. 42Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.
43“But know this: If the homeowner had known what time the thief was
coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into. 44This
is why you also should get ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour
you do not expect. 45Who then is a faithful and sensible slave, whom
his master has put in charge of his household, to give them food at the proper
time? 46Blessed is that slave whom his master, when he comes, will
find working. 47I assure you: He will put him in charge of all his
possessions.
An Unexpected
Return
48“But if
that wicked slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49and
starts to beat his fellow slaves, and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50that
slave’s master will come on a day he does not expect and at a time he does not
know. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the
hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Lk 21:34–36“Be on your guard, that your minds are
not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, and that day come
on you unexpectedly 35like a trap. For it will come on all who live
on the face of the whole earth. 36But be alert at all times, praying
that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take
place, and to stand before the Son of Man.
Mk 13:34–37“It is like a man on a journey, who left
his house, gave authority to his slaves, gave each one his work, and commanded
the doorkeeper to be alert. 35Therefore be alert, since you don’t
know when the master of the house is coming—whether in the evening, or at
midnight, or at the crowing of the rooster, or early in the morning. 36Otherwise,
he might come suddenly and find you sleeping. 37And what I say to
you, I say to everyone: Be alert!”
Lk 21:37–38During the day, He was teaching in the
temple complex, but in the evening He would go out and spend the night on what
is called the Mount of Olives. 38Then all the people would come
early in the morning to hear Him in the temple complex[1]
