Did Jesus really say he did not know the day or the hour of His return? While on the Mount of Olives, the disciples went to Jesus privately and asked Him when was the sign of His coming and the end of the age. This is in Matthew 24:3. I believe Jesus knew the day and the hour when he spoke with his disciples. The disciples that wrote about the statement of no man knowing the day or the hour were Matthew and Mark. Matthew was one of the twelves. Mark was a friend of Peter and other disciples. How does Matthew's and Mark's writings compare with John's writing on the revelation of Jesus Christ? and What did Jesus mean when He said the Father reveals ALL things to Him?
