< 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 Jeshu went forth from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Malphona, behold, see those stones and those 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.
But Jeshu said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left here a stone upon a stone which (will) not be destroyed.
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 while Jeshu sat on the Mount of Olives before the temple, Kipha and Jacub and Juchanon and Andreas asked him by themselves,
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 (these events) shall be, and what is the sign when these all draw nigh to be accomplished.
5 And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.
But he, Jeshu, began to say to them, See that no man deceive you.
6 People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.
For many will come in my name, and will say, I am (He); and many will be deceived.
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 you hear of battles and the rumour of wars, fear not: for it is that they are to be; but not yet is the end.
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 people shall rise against people, and kingdom against kingdom; and earthquakes will he in various places; and there will be famines and convulsions. These are the beginning of sorrows.
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 look (to) yourselves; for they will deliver you to the judgments; and in their assemblies will they scourge you, and before kings and governors you shall stand on account of their testimony.
10 And the good news has first to be given to all the nations.
But first will be preached my gospel among 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 lead you to deliver you up, be not previously anxious what you shall say, nor premeditate; but that, whatever is given you in that hour, that say. For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of Holiness.
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 the brother will betray his brother to the death, and the father his son; and children will rise up against their fathers, and shall put them 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 you will be hated by all men on account of my name: but he who shall persevere 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 you see the unclean sign of desolation, that which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (he who readeth, let him understand!) then let those who are in Jehud flee to the mountain
15 And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:
And he who is upon the roof, let him not descend nor enter in to carry any thing from his house;
16 And let not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.
and he who is in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments.
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 who are with child, and to those who give suck, in those days!
18 And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.
But pray that your flight may not be in the winter:
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 in those days shall be affliction such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which Aloha created, and until now, nor 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 unless the Lord cut short those days, no flesh would live; but on account of the elect whom he hath chosen, those days he hath cut short.
21 And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
Then, if any man shall say to you, Behold, here is the Meshicha! and, Behold, (he is) there! believe 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 there will arise false Meshichas and prophets of a lie, and will give forth signs and wonders, to deceive, if possible, the elect also. But you, beware.
23 But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.
Behold, I have told you every thing before.
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 affliction the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give forth her light,
25 And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers which are in the heavens will be moved.
and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be moved.
26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
And then will they see the Son of Man coming in the cloud with great power and with 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 will he send his angels, and will assemble his chosen ones from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the extremity of the heavens.
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 from the fig-tree learn a parable. When her branches are tender, and she shoots forth her leaves, you know that the summer draws nigh:
29 Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.
so also you, when you see that these things are done, understand that it is near, (even) at the door.
30 Truly, I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.
Amen I tell you, That this race shall not pass until these all shall be.
31 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not 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 and of that hour man knoweth not, nor the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
Look: be watchful and pray; for you know not 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.
For as a man who hath journeyed, and left his house, and hath given authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and the door-keeper he hath instructed to be watchful;
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;
(so) watch you, therefore, because you know not when cometh the Lord of the house, -in the evening, or in the dividing of the night, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning;
36 For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.
lest he should come suddenly, and find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to all, Keep watch.
But what to you I say, that unto all I say, Be watchful.
