ACC ~ Mark 13 v4

READING THE SIGNS

AUGUSTINE: There is no discrepancy in the Gospels as to facts of the end time, [1] although one may supply details which another may pass over or describe differently. Rather, they supplement each other when compared, and thus give direction to the mind of the reader. [2] LETTER 199, TO HESYCHIUS 25. [3]

[1] Augustine is asking how the reader is to reason about apparently conflicting accounts of last things.

[2] Cf. Mt 24:3-8; Mk 13:3-8; Lk 21:7-11.
