Signs of the End of the Age

24:3 As ¹⁰  he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things ¹¹  happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Matthew 21:19

21:19 After noticing a fig tree ¹²  by the road he went to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “Never again will there be fruit from you!” And the fig tree withered at once.

[13:40]  ¹ tn Grk “Therefore as.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

[28:20]  ² tn The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has been translated here as “remember” (BDAG 468 s.v. 1.c).

[28:20]  ³ sn I am with you. Matthew’s Gospel begins with the prophecy that the Savior’s name would be “Emmanuel, that is, ‘God with us,’” (1:23, in which the author has linked Isa 7:14 and 8:8, 10 together) and it ends with Jesus’ promise to be with his disciples forever. The Gospel of Matthew thus forms an inclusio about Jesus in his relationship to his people that suggests his deity.

[28:20]  ⁴ tc Most mss (A^c Θ Ë¹³ Ï it sy) have ἀμήν (amhn, “amen”) at the end of v. 20. Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. Further, no good reason exists for the omission of the particle in significant and early witnesses such as א A* B D W ˹ 33 al lat sa.

[12:32]  ³ tn Grk “it will be forgiven him.”

[12:32]  ⁴ tn Grk “it will not be forgiven him.”

[13:22]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[13:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “the deceitfulness of riches.” Cf. BDAG 99 s.v. ἀπάτη 1, “the seduction which comes from wealth.”

[13:22]  ⁶ sn That is, their concern for spiritual things is crowded out by material things.

[24:3]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[24:3]  ⁶ sn Because the phrase these things is plural, more than the temple’s destruction is in view. The question may presuppose that such a catastrophe signals the end.

[21:19]  ⁶ tn Grk “one fig tree.”
