Senere satt Jesus på Oljeberget sammen med Peter, Jakob, Johannes og Andreas. De satt så de kunne se bort på tempelet. Mens de var der for seg selv, spurte Peter: «Kan du fortelle oss når dette med tempelet skal skje? Er det noen tegn vi kan se etter for å forstå at tiden nærmer seg?»
What Does This Mean?
In this verse from Mark's Gospel, Jesus is sitting on the Mount of Olives with four disciples—Peter, James, John, and Andrew. They ask him questions privately about future events.
Explained for Children
Imagine you're having a secret meeting with your best friends in your backyard. That's kind of what this verse describes. Jesus is talking to his closest friends on a hill near the big temple in Jerusalem.
Historical Background
The Gospel of Mark was written by John Mark, an associate of Peter, around AD 65-70 for Roman Christians. This scene takes place after Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and before His crucifixion.
Living It Out Today
Just as the disciples sought guidance from Jesus in a quiet moment, we can also seek God’s wisdom in our daily lives by spending time in prayer or reading the Bible when we face uncertainties about the future.
