< Mark 13 >
1 And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here.
AND as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto him, Master, behold what vast stones, and what structures!
2 And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.
And Jesus answering said to him, Beholdest thou these magnificent structures? there shall not be left one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:

4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what is the sign when all these things shall come to pass?
5 And Jesus answering, began to say to them, Take heed lest any man deceive you.
Then Jesus answering them, began to say, Beware that no man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and they shall deceive many.
for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many.
7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be, but the end is not yet.
But when ye hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be not troubled: for these things must be; but the end is not yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.
And nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and commotions: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.
But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to their sanhedrims, and to the synagogues; ye shall be beaten with rods, and be set before kings and governors for my name’s sake, for a testimony unto them.
10 And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.
And the Gospel must first be preached to all nations.
11 And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
But when delivering you up, they shall bring you to the bar, be not previously anxious what ye shall say, neither premeditate: for it shall be given to you at that very hour, what ye shall speak: for it is not you, who are speaking, but the Holy Ghost.
12 And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against the parents, and shall work their death.

13 And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not: he that readeth let him understand: then let them that are in Judea, flee unto the mountains:
But when ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing where it ought not (let him that readeth observe), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop, not go down into the house, nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house:
and let not him who is on the roof go down into the house, nor enter into it, to carry away any thing out of the house:
16 And let him that shall be in the field, not turn back to take up his garment.
and he that is in the field, let him not return back to take his garment.
17 And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.
But wo to those who are big with child, and who have infants at their breasts in those days!
18 But pray ye, that these things happen not in winter.

19 For in those days shall be such tribulations, as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be.
For these days shall bring tribulation, such as the like hath never been from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, and never shall be more.
20 And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been preserved: but for the sake of those elect, whom he hath elected, he hath shortened the days.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; lo, he is here: do not believe.
And then, if any man say to you, Lo, here is the Messiah! or, lo there! believe it not.
22 For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect.
For many false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and shall propose signs and wonders to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.

But be ye on your guard: lo! I have told you all things:
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light.
but in those days, after that distressing season, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not emit her light;

29 So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors.
so also you, when ye see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, until all these things be done.

34 Even as a man who going into a far country, left his house; and gave authority to his servants over every work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Watch ye therefore; for ye know not at what time the master of the house cometh, at evening, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or in the morning:

lest coming suddenly he find you asleep.

Now what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
