Matthew 24:3

τῆς, omitted before συντελείας (א B C L). The omission has the effect of bringing the παρουσία into closer connection with the συντέλεια τοῦ αἰῶνος.

3. οἱ μαθηταί. St Mark names the four, Peter and James and John and Andrew.

τῆς σῆς παρουσίας. ‘Thy presence,’ used with the same special meaning, 1 Thessalonians 2:19; James 5:7; 2 Peter 1:16; 1 John 2:28. The precise word ‘coming,’ or ‘advent,’ which the Church has adopted in reference to the second ‘presence’ of Christ, has no exact equivalent in this prophecy.

συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος. See ch. Matthew 13:39-40.
