Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
And what I say unto you--this discourse, it will be remembered, was delivered in private. I say unto all, Watch--anticipating and requiring the diffusion of His teaching by them among all His disciples, and its perpetuation through all time. Next: Mark Chapter 14
Tyndale Open Study Notes
13:37 The passage, originally addressed to the disciples (you, see also 13:5), is also directed to all readers of Mark’s Gospel (everyone). • Watch for him! Although 13:32-37 warns about being ready, the early church experienced this vigilance as a joyous anticipation of “that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed” (Titus 2:13). Even Greek Christians in the first century repeated the Aramaic prayer, Marana tha (“Come, Lord,” see 1 Cor 16:22; Rev 22:20) and today, we still “eagerly look forward to his appearing” (2 Tim 4:8).
Mark 13:37
