13:3-4 Andrew appeared here with the trio, Peter, James, and John (5:37; 9:2; 14:33), completing the two sets of brothers (1:16-20; 3:16-18). • Jesus’ prediction elicited two questions from the disciples. Although some scholars argue that the second question goes beyond the first in looking to the coming of the Son of Man at the end of the age, it is best to interpret these two questions as focusing on the time and the sign associated with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple (cp. 13:29-30; Luke 21:7). These questions follow naturally from Jesus’ prediction in Mark 13:2. The desire to know the sign reflected the disciples’ desire to be forewarned and prepared for all . . . these things.
