  1. 7 Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  2. 8 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.
  3. 9 Grk “answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.
  4. 10 Or “Be on guard.”
  5. 11 Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.” See the note on Christ in .
  6. 12 Grk “it is not yet the end.”
