I’m curious specifically regarding the translation of the word “generation” here in Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, and Luke 21:32.

Matthew 24:34 (NIV)
Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Is the word “generation” a good translation for this word that Jesus uses here? Can (or should) this be translated to something else?
