Mark 13:4

"As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,"

Key Reflection

This scene on the Mount of Olives highlights Jesus' role as both teacher and servant leader. By sitting there, he positions himself to guide his disciples away from the temple's grandeur toward a deeper understanding of God's kingdom. Their private inquiry signals their desire for clarity amidst the looming challenges they sense approaching.
