Notes

Some people will stop being loyal to Jesus because of persecution (Matthew 10:25; 13:21; 16:24–28; 26:33).

Some think chapter 24 is about the return of Jesus at the end of time. Others think it as a prediction of events in AD 70, when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. Some think it refers to both events. See also study notes on Mark 13.
