Mark 13:30 Meaning and Commentary

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).

Mark 13:30 In-Context

28 "Learn this parable from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.
29 In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that He is near-at the door!
30 I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
32 "Now concerning that day or hour no one knows-neither the angels in heaven nor the Son-except the Father.
