Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi tēn genean tautēn {ἐπὶ τὴν γενεὰν ταύτην | epí tēn geneán taútēn} uses epi with the accusative to indicate direction and impact “upon” a target, which is specified by the article–noun–demonstrative string ‘the generation this’, a marked way to single out a particular group.
The demonstrative tautēn {ταύτην | taútēn} is placed after the noun for emphasis, heightening the focus on “this very generation” as the object of the impending consequences. In translation, the formal rendering preserves the judicial imagery of “will come upon” and retains “generation” to mirror genean, while the dynamic rendering unpacks the idiom with “will happen to the people living now” to convey both the temporal limitation and the corporate responsibility implicit in the Greek construction.
In context — Matthew 23:36
Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation .
