Fortell oss mer om det. Hva blir tegnet som viser at den tiden er kommet som Gud har bestemt for alt det du snakker om?”

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.

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.
