| Summary: | Determining our goal -- Key issues involved in interpreting Mark 13 -- Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the temple (and Jerusalem) : Mark 13:1-4 -- The coming destruction of the temple (and Jerusalem) and the sign preceding it : Mark 13:5-23 -- The coming of the son of man : Mark 13:24-27 -- The parable of the fig tree and the coming destruction of the temple (and Jerusalem) : Mark 13:28-31 -- The parable of the watchman and the exhortation to be alert for the coming of the son of man : Mark 13:32-37 -- An interpretative translation of mark 13 The Gospels contain many hard sayings of Jesus, but perhaps none have puzzled and intrigued readers as much as Jesus' discourse on the coming of the Son of Man in Mark 13. Is Jesus speaking entirely of an event in the near future, a coming destruction of the temple? Or is he referring to a distant, end-of-the-world event? Or might he even be speaking of both near and distant events? But in that case, which words apply to which event, and how can we be sure? Seasoned Gospels scholar Robert Stein follows up his major commentary on Mark with this even closer reading of Mark 13. In this macro-lens commentary he walks us step by step through the text and its questions, leading us to a compelling interpretive solution |
