| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But of that day and hour - Of the precise time of the fulfillment. The "general signs" of its approach have been given, as the budding of the fig-tree is a certain indication that summer is near; but "the precise time" is not indicated by these things. One part of their inquiry was Mat 24:3 when those things should be. He now replies to them by saying that the precise time would not be foretold. Compare the notes at Act 1:7.
Knoweth no man, no, not the angels - See the notes at Mar 13:32. |

| But of that day - The day of judgment; Knoweth no man - Not while our Lord was on earth. Yet it might be afterward revealed to St. John consistently with this. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| But of that day and hour - Ωρα, here, is translated season by many eminent critics, and is used in this sense by both sacred and profane authors. As the day was not known, in which Jerusalem should be invested by the Romans, therefore our Lord advised his disciples to pray that it might not be on a Sabbath; and as the season was not known, therefore they were to pray that it might not be in the winter; Mat 24:20. See on Mar 13:32 (note). |

3 And [1161] as he [846] sat [2521] upon [1909] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636], the disciples [3101] came [4334] unto him [846] privately [2596] [2398], saying [3004], Tell [2036] us [2254], when [4219] shall [2071] these things [5023] be [2071]? and [2532] what [5101] shall be the sign [4592] of thy [4674] coming [3952], and [2532] of the end [4930] of the world [165]?
