# Jesus didn't know when Day of Resurrection would be

**Matthew 24:36/Mark 13:32**: "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

In [Matthew 24:36](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+24\&version=RSV) it states:

> 36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,\[[c](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+24\&version=RSV#fen-RSV-23988c)] but the Father only.

He also gave a false prophecy, according to Mark:

[Mark 13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark+13\&version=RSV)

> _1As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”_ _2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”_ _3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”_\

> _26 “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens._ _28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. <mark style="color:red;">**30 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened**</mark>**.** 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away._ _32 **“**<mark style="color:red;">**But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father**</mark>**.** 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is._
