Matthew 24:36 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 24:36

34 Assuredly, I say to you, ^athis generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

35 ^aHeaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour

36 ^a“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of¹ heaven, ^bbut My Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

38 ^aFor as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

40 ^aThen two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42 ^aWatch therefore, for you do not know what¹ hour your Lord is coming.

43 ^aBut know this, that if the master of the house had known what¹ hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

44 ^aTherefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant

45 ^a“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food¹ in due season?

46 ^aBlessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

47 Assuredly, I say to you that ^ahe will make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master ^ais delaying his coming,’

49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,

50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is ^anot aware of,

51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. ^aThere shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
