Mark 13
1 And as he went out of the Temple, one of his disciples said vnto him, Master, see what maner stones, and what maner buildings are here.
As Jesus was walking out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and buildings these are!"
2 Then Iesus answered and saide vnto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe.
"You see these mighty buildings? There shall not be left here one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down," he answered.
3 And as he sate on the mount of Oliues, ouer against the Temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew asked him secretly,
When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter and Jamesand Johnand Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell vs, when shall these things be? and what shalbe the signe when all these things shalbe fulfilled?
"Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign that all these predictions are about to be fulfilled."
5 And Iesus answered them, and began to say, Take heede lest any man deceiue you.
So Jesus began to tell them.
6 For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many.
"Be ye watchful lest any one mislead you. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will mislead many.
7 Furthermore when ye shall heare, of warres, and rumours of warres, be ye not troubled: for such things must needes be: but the end shall not be yet.
But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars do not be dismayed, such things must come, but the end is not yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome, and there shalbe earthquakes in diuers quarters, and there shalbe famine and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorowes.
For nation shall rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines; these are the beginning of birth-pangs.
9 But take ye heede to your selues: for they shall deliuer you vp to the Councils, and to the Synagogues: ye shalbe beaten, and brought before rulers and Kings for my sake, for a testimoniall vnto them.
"You yourselves must be on your guard. They will hand you over to the courts, and you will be flogged on the synagogues; and you will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, to witness to them for me.
10 And the Gospel must first be published among all nations.
But the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.
11 But when they leade you, and deliuer you vp, be not carefull before hand, neither studie what ye shall say: but what is giuen you at the same time, that speake: for it is not ye that speake, but the holy Ghost.
When, however, they are leading you all to trial, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but whatever is given you in that hour, that say, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Yea, and the brother shall deliuer the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die.
"And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents, and have them put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my Names sake: but whosoeuer shall endure vnto the end, he shalbe saued.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
14 Moreouer, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (spoken of by Daniel the Prophet) set where it ought not, (let him that readeth, consider it) then let them that be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines,
"But when you see the Abomination of Desolation ‘standing where he ought not’ (let the reader ponder this), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains;
15 And let him that is vpon the house, not come downe into the house, neither enter therein, to fetch any thing out of his house.
let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor go in to get anything out of his house;
16 And let him that is in the fielde, not turne backe againe to take his garment.
and he who is in the field, let him not turn back to get his cloak.
17 Then wo shalbe to the that are with child, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.
And alas for the pregnant women, and for those that are nursing their infants in those days!
18 Pray therefore that your flight be not in the winter.
Pray that it may not come in the winter.
19 For those dayes shalbe such tribulation, as was not from the beginning of ye creation which God created vnto this time, neither shalbe.
For those will be days of suffering the like of which has never been from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never shall be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those dayes, no flesh shoulde be saued: but for the elects sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those dayes.
And had not the Lord cut short those days, not a single person would escape; but for the elect’s sake whom he has chosen, he has cut them short.
21 Then if any man say to you, Loe, here is Christ, or, lo, he is there, beleeue it not.
"At that time if any one tell you, ‘See, here is Christ,’ or ‘See, there he is,’ do not believe it;
22 For false Christes shall rise, and false prophets, and shall shewe signes and wonders, to deceiue if it were possible the very elect.
for false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, to lead astray the very chosen, if they can.
23 But take ye heede: beholde, I haue shewed you all things before.
Be on your guard! I have told you it all beforehand.
24 Moreouer in those dayes, after that tribulation, the sunne shall waxe darke, and ye moone shall not giue her light,
"But when the tribulation is past, in those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light,
25 And the starres of heauen shall fall: and the powers which are in heauen, shall shake.
and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Sonne of man comming in ye cloudes, with great power and glory.
Then will they see the Son of man coming in clouds, with great power and glory.
27 And he shall then send his Angels, and shall gather together his elect from the foure windes, and from the vtmost part of the earth to the vtmost part of heauen.
Then he will send forth the angels and gather his chosen from the four winds, from uttermost earth to uttermost sky.
28 Nowe learne a parable of the figge tree. When her bough is yet tender, and it bringeth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere.
"From the fig tree learn now her parable; as soon as ever her branches are full of sap and bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
29 So in like maner, when ye see these things come to passe, knowe that the kingdom of God is neere, euen at the doores.
So also do you, whenever you see these things happening, know that He is near, at your very door.
30 Verely I say vnto you, that this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done.
I tell you truly that the present generation shall not pass until all these things begin to happen.
31 Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my woordes shall not passe away.
Earth and sky shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no, not the Angels which are in heauen, neither the Sonne himselfe, but the Father.
But concerning that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven,
33 Take heede: watch, and praie: for yee knowe not when the time is.
nor the Son, but only the Father.
34 For the Sonne of man is as a man going into a strange countrey, and leaueth his house, and giueth authoritie to his seruaunts, and to euery man his woorke, and commandeth the porter to watch.
Take heed! Awake! for you never know the time. As a man gone abroad and leaving his house gives authority to his slaves, to each his task;
35 Watch ye therefore, (for ye know not whe ye master of the house will come, at eue, or at midnight, at the cocke crowing, or in the dawning, )
and orders the porter to keep watch; keep watch then, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming - in the evening, at midnight, at cockcrow, or in the morning -
36 Least if he come suddenly, he should finde you sleeping.
lest he should come unexpectedly and find you sleeping;
37 And those things that I say vnto you, I say vnto all men, Watch.
and what I say to you, I say to all. Be awake and on guard."
