“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”

For of the time of His coming no one knows apart from the Father. It is not even known to the angels in Heaven, or to the Son. Once again He stresses His uniqueness as the only Son, even though while on earth His knowledge is limited in accordance with the purposes of the Godhead.

‘Of that day and hour.' In other words whatever time it might be, whether long or short. Note how this connects with Matthew 25:13 confirming the unity of the account, and that this verse is an integral part of the whole.
