13:32 Stay alert for the coming of the master

(Mat. 24:36-44)

32[ref]But as for the date or time when all this will happen, only the father knows that—even the son and messengers don’t know. 33So watch out, observe current events, and be praying, because you won’t know exactly when all this will happen. 34[ref]It can all be compared to a man who was about to leave his house and go on a trip. Before he leaves, he gives certain jobs and responsibilities to his various slaves, and instructs his security guard to stay alert. 35So you all watch and stay alert, because you don’t know when the master of the house might return—perhaps one evening or at midnight, or at dawn or maybe mid-morning. 36You certainly don’t want to be caught napping when he comes. 37And what I’m telling you now, I tell everyone: stay alert and watch.


32But concerning the that day or the hour, no_one has_known, not_even the messengers in heaven, nor the son, except not/lest the father.
33Be_watching_out, be_watching, and be_praying, because/for you_all_have_ not _known when the time is.
34Like a_man travelling it_is, having_left the house of_him, and having_given the authority to_the slaves of_him, to_each the work of_him, and to_the doorkeeper he_commanded that he_may_be_watching.
35Therefore be_watching, because/for you_all_have_ not _known when the master of_the house is_coming, either evening, or midnight, or of_the_crockcrow, or in_the_morning, 36lest having_come suddenly, he_may_find you_all sleeping.
37And what I_am_saying to_you_all, I_am_saying to_all, be_watching.

Jerusalem during the New Testament

By the time of the New Testament, the ancient city of Jerusalem had been transformed from the relatively small fortress of David’s day (2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9) into a major city with a Temple that rivaled the greatest temples in the Roman world. Just prior to Jesus’ birth, Herod the Great completely renovated and expanded the Temple of the Lord, and he also built a lavish palace for himself, various pools (where Jesus occasionally performed healings), public buildings, and military citadels, including the Antonia Fortress, which overlooked the Temple. Wealthy residents, including the high priest, occupied extravagant houses in the Upper City, while the poorer residents were relegated to less desirable areas like the Lower City. The Essene Quarter was so named because many of its residents belonged to the Essenes, a strict religious sect that was known for its careful attention to the law of Moses. Across the Kidron Valley lay the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-53; John 18:1-14). Further east was the Mount of Olives, where Jesus began his triumphal entry one week before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19), taught his disciples about the last days (Matthew 24-25; Mark 13), and eventually ascended to heaven after his resurrection (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1-11).
