Marco 13:32

32 MA, quant’è a quel giorno, ed a quell’ora, niuno li sa, non pur gli angeli che son nel cielo, nè il Figliuolo, ma solo il Padre.

Marco 13:32 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:32

But of that day, and of that hour
Of Jerusalem's destruction; for of nothing else had Christ been speaking; and, it is plain, the words are anaphorical, and relate to what goes before:

knoweth no man;
nay, they that lived to see it, and have spoken of it, are not agreed about the particular day, when it was; much less did they know it beforehand, or could speak of it, and make it known to others:

no, not the angels which are in heaven;
who are acquainted with many of the divine secrets, and have been employed in the imparting them to others, and in the executing divine purposes:

neither the Son;
Christ, as the son of man; though he did know it as the Son of God, who knows all things, and so this; but as the son of man, and from his human nature he had no knowledge of any thing future: what knowledge he had of future things in his humanity, he had from his deity; nor, as man, had he any commission to make known, nor did he make known the day of God's vengeance on the Jews:

but the Father;
who has the times and seasons in his own power, for the executing of any particular judgment on a nation, or the general one; (See Gill on Matthew 24:36).

Marco 13:32 In-Context

30 Io vi dico in verità, che questa età non passerà, che prima tutte queste cose non sieno avvenute.

31 Il cielo e la terra passeranno, ma le mie parole non passeranno.

32 MA, quant’è a quel giorno, ed a quell’ora, niuno li sa, non pur gli angeli che son nel cielo, nè il Figliuolo, ma solo il Padre.

33 Prendete guardia; vegliate, ed orate; perciocchè voi non sapete quando sarà quel tempo.

34 Come se un uomo, andando in viaggio, lasciasse la sua casa, e desse sopra essa podestà a’ suoi servitori, ed a ciascuno l’opera sua, e comandasse al portinaio che vegliasse.
