24:30 τω ¦ — NA TH WH
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
24:30 the sign that the Son of Man is coming (literally the sign of the Son of Man): The sign is probably the Son of Man himself (see 12:38-42; 16:4). His coming expresses his vindication (see 26:64) and will bring deep mourning to those who experience God’s judgment.
• All the peoples of the earth could be translated all the tribes of the land. The term used here is not the usual Greek term for Gentile nations (ethnoi), but a term used frequently of the tribes (phulai) of Israel (the land), suggesting that a national disaster in Israel might be in view (see 21:43; Zech 12:10-14).
• the Son of Man coming on the clouds: See Dan 7:13. Many believe that this means a descent of the Son of Man from God’s presence to reside on earth as Judge and Deliverer—i.e., the second coming of Christ. Others have argued that this describes the Son of Man coming in judgment, but not necessarily the second coming of Christ (see Matt 10:23; 16:27; 19:28; 25:31; 26:64; 28:18).

/will_be_being/_seen the sign ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man in /the/_sky
Here, the phrase in heaven could go with: (1) will appear. In this case, in heaven is where the sign will appear. Alternate translation: “will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man” (2) the Son of Man. In this case, the sign shows that the Son of Man is in heaven. Alternate translation: “will appear the sign that the Son of Man is in heaven”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
the sign ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man
Here, Jesus could be using the possessive form to describe a sign that: (1) shows that the Son of Man is about to do something. Alternate translation: “the sign that indicates that the Son of Man is about to do something” (2) is the Son of Man. Alternate translation: “the sign, which is the Son of Man,”

τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου & τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man & the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς
all the tribes ˱of˲_the earth

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
ἐρχόμενον
coming
Christians debate exactly what it means in this verse for the the Son of Man to be coming. Some think he is coming to God’s heavenly throne room. Others think he is coming back to earth. If possible, use a form that does not explicitly state where he is coming. Alternate translation: “traveling” or “going”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
the clouds ˱of˲_the sky
The expression of heaven contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “the clouds”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς
with power and glory great
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of power and glory, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “as someone who is powerful and very glorious” or “powerfully and very gloriously”
