馬太福音 24章36節 到 24章36節     上一筆  下一筆
 {Not even the Son} (oude ho huios). Probably genuine,
though absent in some ancient MSS. The idea is really involved in
the words "but the Father only" (ei m(8820)ho pat(8872) monos). It is
equally clear that in this verse Jesus has in mind the time of
his second coming. He had plainly stated in verse  34  that those
events (destruction of Jerusalem) would take place in that
generation. He now as pointedly states that no one but the Father
knows the day or the hour when these things (the second coming
and the end of the world) will come to pass. One may, of course,
accuse Jesus of hopeless confusion or extend his confession of
ignorance of the date of the second coming to the whole chain of
events. So McNeile: "It is impossible to escape the conclusion
that Jesus as Man, expected the End, within the lifetime of his
contemporaries." And that after his explicit denial that he knew
anything of the kind! It is just as easy to attribute ignorance
to modern scholars with their various theories as to Jesus who
admits his ignorance of the date, but not of the character of the
coming.
