Matthew 24:36 Douay-Rheims

But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(de Trin. i. 12.) When He says here, Knows not, He means,’ makes others not to know;’ i. e. He knew not then, so as to tell His disciples; as it was said to Abraham, Now I know that thou fearest God; (Gen. 22:19.) i. e. ‘Now have I caused that thou shouldest know,’ because by the temptation he came to know himself.
