Matthew 24:36





DOCTRINAL SIGNIFICANCE


Despite being inherently God (see ), Jesus did not know the hour of His coming. This supports the doctrine of Kenosis , which states that Jesus emptied Himself of all His Godly abilities before coming to earth.


New International Version


No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.


New American Standard Bible


But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.


New King James Version


But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.


King James Version


But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.


The message


But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.
