Resumen:
This research maps out the discourse elements of Jesus in chapter 13 of the Gospel of Mark seeking to bring contributions to the eschatological analysis. The research was developed based on discourse analysis and on the historical-grammatical method. One intends to gather together information on the social-economical, political and religious context and understand the subject of the pericope, who were the recipients as well as the classification of the eschatological discourse. This work was divided into three parts. In the first part, a general introduction to the method of discourse analysis and an introduction to chapter thirteen of the book of Mark is presented. A small historiographic summary of the Roman occupation in Palestine is the target of the second part. It is necessary to reconstruct the circumstances in which the discourse on the Mount of Olives took place with the help of historical hypothesis. Finally, in the third part, the analysis of the discourse of the Mount of Olives is presented based on various commentaries and analyses of the main schools of interpretation. One hopes that with the results obtained from this exegetical research, there will be a better comprehension of the text in question and, in the same way, that it may propitiate a horizon of reading from this text which will help the readers have more clarity as to the eschatological themes as presented in the discourse registered in Mark 13. This study is inserted in the larger discussion of the comprehension of the apocalyptic currents within the original context of Christianity as well as of current times, thus being dedicated in depth to the register selected for this special field.
