This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mar_13:14-23. See on Mat_24:15-26. Comp. Luk_21:20-24, who, however, has freely elements that are peculiar.
ὅπου οὐ δεῖ ] thoughtful, but more indefinite designation of the sacred temple-area than in Matthew, where the more definite expression, as well as the reference by name (not merely suggested by the use of the set expression τὸ βδέλ . τ . ἐρημ .) to Dan_9:27, betrays a later manipulation.
Mar_13:16. ὁ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν ὤν ] he who is (has gone) into the field. See on Mar_2:1.
Mar_13:18. Mark has, with a view to his Gentile-Christian readers, passed over the μηδὲ σαββάτῳ , which was in the collection of Logia, in Mat_24:20.
Mar_13:19. ἔσονται … θλίψις ] “Tempori adscribitur res, quae in tempore fit; una et continua erit calamitas,” Wetstein.

κτίσεως ἧς ἔκτισ . ὁ Θεός ] Comp. Mar_13:20 : διὰ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς οὓς ἐξελέξατο , Herod, iii. 147: ἐντολάς τε , τὰς … ἐνετέλλετο , Philostr. V. Ap. iv. 13. 150: τῆς μήνιδος ἣν ἐμήνισας . The mode of expression has for its object “gravius eandem notionem bis iterari,” Lobeck, Paralip. p. 522. A contrast with the Jewish state as a human κτίσις (Lange) is fanciful. κτίσις , that which is created, see on Rom_8:19.
ὀποπλαν .] 1Ti_6:10.
Mar_13:23. In Matthew at this point the saying about the lightning and the carcase, which certainly belongs originally to this place, is added (Mar_13:27-28).
