13:37 The passage, originally addressed to the disciples (you, see also 13:5), is also directed to all readers of Mark’s Gospel (everyone). • Watch for him! Although 13:32-37 warns about being ready, the early church experienced this vigilance as a joyous anticipation of “that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed” (Titus 2:13). Even Greek Christians in the first century repeated the Aramaic prayer, Marana tha (“Come, Lord,” see 1 Cor 16:22; Rev 22:20) and today, we still “eagerly look forward to his appearing” (2 Tim 4:8).
