[24:3] 1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
[24:3] 2 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.
[24:27] 3 sn The Son of Man’s coming in power will be sudden and obvious like lightning. No one will need to point it out.
[24:37] 4 sn Like the days of Noah, the time of the flood in Gen 6:5-8:22, the judgment will come as a surprise as people live their day to day lives.
[24:39] 5 sn Like the flood that came and took them all away, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.
[24:39] 6 tn Grk “So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
