The Coming of the Son of Man. 24 (A)“But in those days after that tribulation

the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light,(B)
25 and the stars will be falling from the sky,
    and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

26 [a](C)And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory, 27 and then he will send out the angels and gather [his] elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.

  1. 13:26 Son of Man…with great power and glory: Jesus cites this text from Dn 7:13 in his response to the high priest, Are you the Messiah? (Mk 14:61). In Ex 34:5; Lv 16:2; and Nm 11:25 the clouds indicate the presence of the divinity. Thus in his role of Son of Man, Jesus is a heavenly being who will come in power and glory.
