This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_24:36. The affirmation of Mat_24:34, however, does not exclude the fact that no one knows the day and hour when the second advent, with its accompanying phenomena, is to take place. It is to occur during the lifetime of the generation then existing, but no one knows on what day or at what hours within the period thus indicated. Accordingly it is impossible to tell you anything more precise in regard to this than what is stated at Mat_24:34.
εἰ μὴ ὁ πατ . μου μόνος ] This reservation on the part of the Father excludes even the incarnate Son (Mar_13:32). The limitation implied in our passage as regards the human side of our Lord’s nature is to be viewed in the same light as that implied in Mat_20:23. See, besides, on Mar_13:32.
