Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN 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.

Paragraph 21:20–24

In this paragraph Jesus began a new topic. In 21:12–19 he had talked about the persecution that his disciples would endure before the end. In this paragraph Jesus talked about the future time when an army would attack the city of Jerusalem and destroy it.It is possible that this passage will have two fulfillments. The first application referred to the time when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. This happened about forty years after people had crucified Jesus. Many Christians think that Jerusalem will be attacked again in the last days of this age. This would be a second fulfillment of this prediction. Jesus warned his disciples to escape when they saw armies gathering around Jerusalem.

21:22a

For these are the days of vengeance,

I say this because that will be the time of punishment for sins.
For at this time God will punish the people of Jerusalem

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as For introduces the basis or reason for the commands that Jesus gave in 21:21. Other ways to translate this conjunction are:

because (NET)

I say that because

these are the days of vengeance: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as these are the days of vengeance is literally “days of vengeance these are.” The phrase days of vengeance is emphasized.

Prophets who lived during the time of the Old Testament warned that God would punish his people because they disobeyed him and rebelled against him. On some occasions God used the phrase days of vengeance or “the day” to describe the time when He would punish His people. (See Hosea 9:7 and Malachi 4:1.) God would also specifically punish them for rejecting Jesus as the Christ/Messiah whom God had sent to them, as 19:44 indicates.

In some languages it may be necessary to translate vengeance as a verb and to make explicit both the subject and the object. For example:

this is the time when God will punish the people of Jerusalem

At this time God will punish people

21:22b

to fulfill all that is written.

This punishment will fulfill all that the prophets have written about it.
and all the warnings written in the Scriptures will be proved true.

to fulfill: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as to fulfill is literally “are to be fulfilled.” The verb fulfill means “to make/cause to truly happen.” Here it indicates that what happens during “the time of punishment/vengeance” will cause everything that was written in the Scriptures about it to happen as the Scriptures said. Other ways to translate this word are:

to make come true (GNT)

will come true (GW)

so that it may happen as predicted

all that is written: The phrase all that is written refers to everything that the prophets wrote in Scripture. It refers specifically here to all the writings about the time when armies would attack and destroy Jerusalem. Another way to translate this is:

all that the prophets wrote about this

Jesus may have been referring to passages such as 1 Kings 9:6–9, Daniel 9:26, Hosea 9:7 and Micah 3:12.When the Babylonians and other enemies destroyed Jerusalem hundreds of years before Jesus’ time, that destruction partially fulfilled some OT prophecies. But Jesus spoke here about how such prophecies would be fulfilled perhaps in an even greater way when armies would again attack and destroy Jerusalem.

τοῦ & πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα

¬which & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗται εἰσίν τοῦ πλησθῆναι παντᾶ τά γεγραμμένα)

Here, all has a limited meaning. It does not mean everything that the prophets wrote about every subject. Rather, it means specifically all that the prophets wrote about this particular event. Alternate translation: [all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures about how Jerusalem would be destroyed]
