Marcos 13:33

33 Mirad, velad y orad; porque no sabéis cuándo será el tiempo

Marcos 13:33 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:33

Take ye heed, watch and pray
This seems to be the principal reason why the day and hour of Jerusalem's destruction, though known by the Father, were not made known to any man, neither to the angels, nor by them; nor to the son of man in the days of his flesh, nor by him when on earth; that his people might be upon their guard, against false Christs, and prophets, and their deception; and watch unto prayer, and in it, lest they fell into temptation, and that day should come upon them unawares:

for ye know not when the time is;
the exact and precise time: for though the people of God had notice of it, and were sensible it was at hand, and did make their escape out of Jerusalem; yet they knew not the exact time, but that it might be sooner or later; and the unbelieving Jews were blinded, and in the dark about it to the very last; (See Gill on Matthew 24:42).

Marcos 13:33 In-Context

31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán

32 Pero de aquel día y de la hora, nadie sabe; ni aun los ángeles que están en el cielo, ni el mismo Hijo, sino solo el Padre

33 Mirad, velad y orad; porque no sabéis cuándo será el tiempo

34 Como el hombre que yéndose lejos, dejó su casa, y dio a sus siervos su hacienda, y a cada uno su cargo, y al portero mandó que velara

35 Velad pues, porque no sabéis cuándo el Señor de la casa vendrá; si a la tarde, o a la medianoche, o al canto del gallo, o a la mañana
