Parallels

  • Matthew 24:1-2 (verbal): Near-identical wording in Matthew introducing the Olivet Discourse: disciples remark on the temple's stones/buildings and Jesus predicts its destruction.
  • Luke 21:5-6 (verbal): Parallel Lukan account: observers comment on the temple's magnificence, prompting Jesus' prophecy about its coming ruin.
  • Mark 13:2 (structural): Immediate Markan continuation: Jesus responds to the disciple's remark with the prediction that not one stone will be left upon another.
  • John 2:19-21 (thematic): Jesus' statement about destroying and raising the temple (and listeners' misunderstanding) connects thematically to discussions of the temple's fate and identity.
  • Psalm 74:3-7 (thematic): A temple lament describing enemies' assault on the sanctuary; thematically parallels vulnerability and destruction of the sacred buildings.

Parallels

  • Matthew 24:2 (verbal): Near- verbatim Synoptic parallel in the Olivet Discourse: Jesus predicts that not one stone will be left upon another of the temple buildings.
  • Luke 21:6 (verbal): Another Synoptic parallel with the same wording about the temple stones, linking the saying to the same prophetic discourse.
  • Mark 13:1 (structural): Immediate narrative context: the preceding verse notes the disciples’ remark about the temple buildings, setting up Jesus’ prophetic declaration.
  • Luke 19:41-44 (thematic): Jesus’ lament over Jerusalem and his prediction of siege and destruction (because the city did not recognize its visitation) thematically parallels the announcement of the temple’s coming ruin.
  • Daniel 9:26 (allusion): An Old Testament precedent: the prophecy that peoples will destroy the city and sanctuary provides theological background for expectations of Jerusalem’s and the temple’s destruction.

Parallels

  • Matthew 24:3 (verbal): Synoptic parallel setting for the Olivet Discourse: Jesus on the Mount of Olives and the disciples privately ask him about the coming signs—same scene and purpose as Mark 13:3.
  • Luke 21:37 (structural): Luke likewise places Jesus on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple (he teaches by day in the temple and at night is on the mount), providing a parallel spatial/frame for the discourse though Luke does not replicate the private question in the same verse.
  • Mark 14:33 (verbal): Same Gospel locates Peter, James, and John with Jesus on the Mount of Olives (Gethsemane) and highlights the inner circle’s private relationship with Jesus—echoing the naming of disciples at 13:3 and the pattern of private access.
  • John 18:1-2 (structural): John describes Jesus crossing the Kidron to a garden at the Mount of Olives (the setting for arrest and private moments with disciples), paralleling Mark’s use of the Mount of Olives as an intimate/significant location for Jesus and his close followers.
  • Zechariah 14:4 (thematic): An Old Testament eschatological tradition that places decisive end-time activity on the Mount of Olives; thematically resonates with Mark 13’s apocalyptic discourse delivered from that same mount.

  • James 5:8 (thematic): Uses the same eschatological urgency—be patient and establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near; exhortation based on imminent arrival.

  • Luke 21:32 (verbal): Luke preserves the same promise with very similar wording—'this generation will not pass away'—linking the prediction about the coming events to the present generation.
  • Matthew 16:28 (thematic): Jesus says some standing will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom; thematically parallels the promise of imminent fulfillment in Mark 13:30.

  • Daniel 7:13 (allusion): The 'coming of the Son of Man' background language in the Olivet discourse (to which Mark 13:30 points) echoes Daniel's vision of 'one like a son of man' coming with the clouds, the Old Testament backdrop for the eschatological arrival.

As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, 'Teacher, look at these great stones and these buildings!' And Jesus said to him, 'Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.' And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

'Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to be fulfilled?' And Jesus began to say to them, 'Take heed lest anyone lead you astray;

for many will come in my name, saying, "I am he," and will lead many astray.'

'When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must take place, but the end is not yet.'

'For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines. These are but the beginning of birth pangs.'

'But be on your guard: they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues; you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.'

'And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. And then the end will come.'

'When they bring you to trial, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.'

'And brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.'

'and let the one in the field not turn back to take his cloak.'

'And alas for those who are with child and for those who nurse infants in those days!'

'Pray that your flight may not be in winter.'

'For in those days there will be tribulation unequaled from the beginning of creation that God created until now, and never will be the like.'

'And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no human being would be saved; but for the elect's sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.'

'And then if anyone says to you, "Look, here is the Christ!" or, "Look, there!"—do not believe it.'

'For false christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.'

'But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.'
