Mark 13
1 And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what 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 said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.
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 while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to 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 Say when these things will be, and what will be the sign when these things are all about to be done.
Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
6 People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.
For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.
7 And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.
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 Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.
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 take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign 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 has first to be given to all the nations.
and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
11 And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, 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 give up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put 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 you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.
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 you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly 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 him who is on the house-top not go down, or go 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 not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.
and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
17 And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.
But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18 And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.
And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19 For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.
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 if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.
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 says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
22 Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.
But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her 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 will be falling from heaven, and the powers which are in the heavens will be moved.
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 great 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 out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest 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 Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the 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 Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even 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, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
31 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
32 But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or 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 Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
34 It is as when a man who is in another country for a time, having gone away from his house, and given authority to his servants and to everyone his work, gives the porter an order to keep 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 So you are to keep watch: because you are not certain when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at the cock's cry, 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 For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to all, Keep watch.
But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
