< 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.
And, as he was going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him—Teacher! see what manner of stones, and what manner of buildings!
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.
And, Jesus, said unto him—Art thou beholding these great buildings? In nowise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall, in any wise, not be thrown down.
3 And as he sate on the mount of Oliues, ouer against the Temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew asked him secretly,
And, as he was sitting within the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning 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 the sign, when all these things shall be about to be concluded.
5 And Iesus answered them, and began to say, Take heede lest any man deceiue you.
And, Jesus, began to be saying unto them—Beware, lest anyone, deceive, you;
6 For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many.
For, many, will come on my name, saying, I, am he! and, will deceive, 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.
And, when ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be not alarmed—it must needs come to pass, but, not yet, is, the end.
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 there will arise—Nation against nation, and, kingdom against kingdom, —there will be earthquakes in places, there will be famines: —
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.
A beginning of birth-pangs, are these things. But be, ye, taking heed, unto yourselves: they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in synagogues, shall ye be beaten, —and, before governors and kings, shall ye be set, for my sake, for a witness unto them.
10 And the Gospel must first be published among all nations.
And, unto all the nations, first, must needs be proclaimed, the glad-message.
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.
And, when they are leading you, as they are delivering you up, be not beforehand anxious, what ye shall speak; but, whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, the same, speak, —for, ye, are not the speakers, 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 deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child, and, children, will rise up, against parents, and put them 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.
And ye will be men hated by all, because of my name; but, he that hath endured throughout, the same, 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 ye shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not, he that readeth, let him, think, then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into 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.
He that is on the house-top, let him not come down, neither let him enter, to take away anything out of his louse;
16 And let him that is in the fielde, not turne backe againe to take his garment.
And, he that hath gone into the field, let him not turn back unto the things behind, to take away his mantle.
17 Then wo shalbe to the that are with child, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.
But alas for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, —in those days.
18 Pray therefore that your flight be not in the winter.
But be praying, that it may not happen in 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 in those days shall be a tribulation—such, that there hath not happened, the like, from the beginning of creation which God created, until the present time, and shall in nowise happen.
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, save that the Lord hath shortened the days, no flesh should be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen of whom he hath made choice, he hath shortened the days.
21 Then if any man say to you, Loe, here is Christ, or, lo, he is there, beleeue it not.
And, then, if any, unto you, say—See! Here, is the Christ! See! there, 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 there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets; and they will show signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, the chosen.
23 But take ye heede: beholde, I haue shewed you all things before.
But, ye, beware: I have foretold you, all things.
24 Moreouer in those dayes, after that tribulation, the sunne shall waxe darke, and ye moone shall not giue her light,
But, in those days, after that tribulation, the sun, shall be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness,
25 And the starres of heauen shall fall: and the powers which are in heauen, shall shake.
And, the stars, will, out of the heavens, be falling, —and, the powers which are 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.
And, 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.
And, then, will he send forth the messengers, and they will gather together his chosen—out of the four winds, from utmost bound of earth, unto utmost bound of heaven.
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.
Now, from the fig-tree, learn ye, the parable: —When, already, her young branch, becometh tender, and, the leaves, are sprouting, ye observe that, near, is, the summer:
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.
Thus, ye also, when ye shall see these things coming to pass, observe ye, that, near, he is, at the doors.
30 Verely I say vnto you, that this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done.
Verily, I say unto you—In nowise, shall this generation pass away, until all these things, shall happen:
31 Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my woordes shall not passe away.
The heaven and the earth, 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 hour, no one, knoweth, neither the messengers in heaven, nor the Son, —save the Father.
33 Take heede: watch, and praie: for yee knowe not when the time is.
Be taking heed, be watching, for ye know not, when, the season [is]: —
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.
As a man from home—having left his house, and given his servants the authority, to each one, his work, —and, unto the porter, hath given command, that he should watch: —
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, )
Be watching, therefore, for ye know not, when, the master of the house, is coming, —whether at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at early morn; —
36 Least if he come suddenly, he should finde you sleeping.
Lest, coming suddenly, he find you, sleeping.
37 And those things that I say vnto you, I say vnto all men, Watch.
But, what, unto you, I say, unto all, I say: —Be watching.
