Summary/Abstract: This paper argues that Jesus did not think in the apocalyptic paradigm, and therefore, that all the apocalyptic quotes ascribed to him were later addictions to the biblical texts. The synoptic gospels contain almost a 100 items regarding this topic. Th e paper analyses them and arranges them by specifi c subject. Th e researched subjects are: the end of the world, the fi nal judgement, prophecies regarding the fi nal judgement, the Son of man, apocalyptic threats, and vigil. The paper lists a few quotes that can be considered as uttered by Jesus himself. These quotes are examined as well: some of them contain messages against apocalyptic views. It is characteristic of Jesus that he gave answers filled with moral lessons to apocalyptic questions.
