Matthew 24:41

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:41 Go To Matthew 24

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
De Trin., i, 12: When He says here, “Knows not,” He means, ‘makes others not to know;’ i.e. He knew not then, so as to tell His disciples; as it was said to Abraham, “Now I know that thou fearest God;” i.e. ‘Now have I caused that thou shouldest know,’ because by the temptation he came to know himself. Lib. 83, Quaest. Q60: That the Father alone knows may be well understood in the above-mentioned manner of knowing, that He makes the Son to know; but the Sonis said not to know, because be does not make men to know. Ep. 199, 16: The Gospel then says, “Of that day and hour knoweth no man;” but you say, That neither the month nor the year of His coming can be known. This exactness of yours up to this point seems as if you meant that the year could not be known, but that the week or the decade of years might be known, asthough it was possible to fix or assign it to some seven, ten, or a hundred, or some number of years more or less. If you allow that you cannot so limit it, you think with me.
