Mark records the following,
10:35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,”

want me to do for you?” he asked. 37 They replied, “Let one …
I’m little lost here. Can somebody please help me with this? We have these two verses concerning the day when (as introduced in Mark 13:26 // Mark 24:30) the Son of Man returns in glory:

Matthew 24:36-44 (ESV):
36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days …
On the cross Jesus asked a question:
