Mark 13:30

Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass,
&c.] Not the generation of men, in general, or Jews in particular, nor of Christians; but that present generation of men, they should not all go off the stage of life,

till all these things be done;
which were now predicted by Christ, concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, the signs of it, and what, should immediately follow upon it; (See Gill on Matthew 24:34).
