SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:5–38: Jesus taught about what would happen in the future

After the events of the preceding section, some of Jesus’ disciples were admiring the beautiful stones and gifts that people used to adorn the Temple. Jesus told them that one day the Temple would be completely destroyed. Enemies would attack Jerusalem and destroy the Temple.In A.D. 70, the Jews rebelled against the Romans, and the Roman destroyed the temple. Jesus also told them about other things that would happen in the future. He told them that after these things happened, he would return to earth in power and great glory. He warned his disciples to pray so that they would be able to endure the future troubles and be ready to meet him when he comes again.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some examples of other headings are:

The Jerusalem temple would soon be destroyed

The destruction of the temple and the coming times of trouble

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 24:1–35 and Mark 13:1–31.

21:35

For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.

For that day will come upon all people living throughout the world.
That day will affect all the people in the world.
Do^(plur) not think that it will not affect you, because the things that happen on that day will impact everyone everywhere.

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as ForThere is a textual issue regarding the placement of the Greek conjunction gar that the BSB translates as “For.” Some Greek manuscripts have hōs pagis epeiseleusetai gar “as a snare; for it will come upon,” and others have hōs pagis gar epeiseleusetai “for as a snare it will come upon.” Metzger (p. 173) gives the former a B rating, indicating that the text is almost certain, and almost all English versions follow this text. introduces an explanation or reason for the warning that Jesus gave in 21:34d. Connect this verse with 21:34 in a natural way in your language. In some languages a conjunction may not be needed.

it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth: This clause refers back to the “day” mentioned in 21:34d. The clause indicates that the events that happen on that day will affect everyone in this world. No one should think that the day will affect only certain people. Every human being will be affected.

In some languages it is not natural to speak of a day as “coming upon” people. Some other ways to translate the clause are:

Translate the meaning without this idiom. For example:
All people all over the world will be affected by that day.
What happens on that day will impact everyone all over the earth.
Use a different idiom to express this meaning. For example:
That day will catch all the people dwelling on earth.

Translate the clause in a natural way in your language.

the face of all the earth: The phrase the face of all the earth refers to the surface of the ground all over the world. This is a figurative way to refer to the whole earth. In some languages it may not be natural to mention the face or surface of the world. If that is true in your language, you may translate the phrase without the figure of speech. For example:

on the earth (NLT)
