33 So also you— when you see all[a] these things, you know[b] that He[c] is near, at the doors. 34 Truly I say to you that this[d] generation will by no means pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by-no-means pass away.

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 24:33 When you see all of v 5-29 or 15-29, you are seeing the tree leafed out.
  2. Matthew 24:33 Or, know that (a command).
  3. Matthew 24:33 Or, it, Christ’s coming.
  4. Matthew 24:34 Some think Jesus means the apostles’ generation, which would see all these things (v 5 or 15 to v 28 or 29) fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem (compare 23:36). Since that day, He is at the door. Others think He means the generation alive to see all these things in the end-time. Others think ‘this generation’ refers to unbelieving Israel (as often in the Gospels). Such persons will continue until He returns.
