From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 36. But of that day and hour. Of the precise time of the fulfillment. The general signs of its coming have been given; as the budding of the fig-tree is a certain indication that summer is near. But the precise time is not indicated by these things. One part of their inquiry was, Mt 24:3 when those things should be. He now replies to them, by saying that the precise time would not be foretold. Knoweth no man, no, not the angels. See Barnes "Mr 13:32". {k} "But of that" Zec 14:7; 1 Th 5:2 __________________________________________________________________
