< Mark 13 >

1 And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings.
And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!
2 And Jesus having answered, he said to him, See thou these great buildings? There will be left, no, not a stone upon a stone, that will, no, not be brought down.
And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew questioned him privately,
And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell us, when will these things be? And what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
5 And having answered them, Jesus began to say to them, Watch that not any man lead you astray.
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
6 For many will come in my name, saying, I am, and they will lead many astray.
For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.
7 And when ye may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not alarmed, for it must happen, but the end is not yet.
But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for [this] must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginnings of travails.
For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things [are the] beginnings of throes.
9 But watch ye yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be beaten in synagogues. And ye will be stood before rulers and kings because of me, for a testimony to them.
But ye, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them;
10 And the good news must first be preached to all the nations.
and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
11 But when they lead you, delivering you up, be not anxious before what ye might speak, nor meditate. But whatever may be given you in that hour, speak ye this, for ye are not who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, [nor prepare your discourse]: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for ye are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit.
12 And brother will betray brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and will condemn them to death.
But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.
And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
14 But when ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains,
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider [it], ) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;
15 and let the man on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter in to take anything out of his house,
and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter [into it] to take away anything out of his house;
16 and let the man who is in the field not turn back for the things behind, to take his cloak.
and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
17 But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days.
But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18 And pray ye that your flight may not be in winter.
And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19 For those days will be tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and no, will not happen.
for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since [the] beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be;
20 And unless the Lord cut short the days, no flesh would have been saved, but because of the chosen, whom he chose, he cut short the days.
and if [the] Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.
21 And then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, do not believe.
And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will give signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 But watch ye. Behold, I have foretold all to you.
But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;
25 and the stars of the sky will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;
26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory.
and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
27 And then he will send forth his agents, and will gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the outermost part of the earth as far as the outermost part of heaven.
and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
28 But learn a parable from the fig tree. When its branch now becomes tender, and sprouts the leaves, ye know that summer is near.
But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
29 So ye also, when ye may see these things happening, know ye that it is near, at the doors.
Thus also ye, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
31 The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
32 But about that day or that hour no man knows, not even the agents in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33 Watch ye! Be alert and pray, for ye know not when the time is,
Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
34 like a man abroad, having left his house, and having given authority to his bondmen, and to each man his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
[it is] as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
35 Watch therefore, for ye know not when the lord of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at cock crowing, or in the morning,
Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;
36 lest having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping.
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you I say to all, watch!
But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
