24:36 The day is the day of judgment.
• or the Son: Jesus’ limited knowledge is suggested also in Acts 1:7. Because the day is unknown, Jesus’ hearers should be vigilant and faithful (see Matt 24:37–25:46). This statement ought to deter those who attempt to calculate the date of our Lord’s return.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας
concerning but ¬the ˱of˲_day that and hour
Here, the phrase But concerning introduces the next topic that Jesus wants to talk about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic. Alternate translation: “Next, I will talk about that day and hour. About them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας
¬the ˱of˲_day that and hour
The terms day and hour mean similar things. Jesus is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “that specific time”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας
¬the ˱of˲_day that and hour
Here Jesus is referring to the exact moment when this “age,” which is the current time period, will end (see the disciples’ question in 24:3). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the end of the age” or “the moment in the future when the current way of doing things will cease”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν, οὐδὲ ὁ Υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ Πατὴρ μόνος
no_one /has/_known not_even the angels ˱of˲_the heavens nor the Son except ¬not/lest the Father only
If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “only the Father knows and no one else, neither the angels of the heavens, nor the Son”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν
the angels ˱of˲_the heavens
Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe angels that are in the heavens. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the angels in the heavens”
Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants
οὐδὲ ὁ Υἱός
not_even nor the Son
Many ancient manuscripts read nor the Son. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts do not include these words. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 7 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
ὁ Υἱός & ὁ Πατὴρ
the Son & the Father
Son and Father are important titles that describes the relationship between Jesus the Son and God the Father. Be sure to retain these titles in your translation.
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ὁ Υἱός
the Son
Jesus is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “I, who am the Son”
