13:27 The Son of Man, at his coming, will gather his chosen people—those who believe in him and follow him—from all over the world (see Zech 2:6) and from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven (see Deut 13:7; 30:4; Isa 42:10; 62:11). This hope is expressed frequently in the Old Testament (e.g., Ps 107:2-3; Isa 11:11-16; 27:12-13; 43:5-13; 49:12; 60:1-9; Jer 31:10). For Mark’s readers, this passage would have provided encouragement to endure and remain faithful despite the persecutions foretold in Mark 13:9-13. The Son of Man’s coming will also bring judgment on the unrighteous (8:38; 13:32-37; Matt 13:41-43; 24:36-51; 25:1-12, 31-46).
