< Mark 13 >
1 And as He is going forth out of the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, “Teacher, 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 answering said to him, “See these great buildings? There may not be left a stone on a stone that may not be thrown down.”
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 as He is sitting at the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning Him by Himself,
And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 “Tell us when these things will be? And what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?”
Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, “Take heed lest anyone may lead you astray,
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
6 for many will come in My Name, saying, I am [He], and many they will lead astray;
For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.
7 and when you may hear of wars and reports of wars, do not be troubled, for these ought to be, but the end [is] not yet;
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 for nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles; these [are the] beginning of travails.
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 And take heed to yourselves, for they will deliver you up to Sanhedrins, and to synagogues, you will be beaten, and before governors and kings you will be set for My sake, for a testimony 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 to all the nations it is first necessary that the good news be proclaimed.
and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
11 And when they may lead you, delivering up, do not be anxious beforehand what you may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak, for it is not you who are speaking, 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 deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children will rise up against parents, and will 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 because of My Name, but he who has endured to the end—he will be saved.
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 And when you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it should not (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee 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 he on the housetop, do not let him come down into the house, nor come 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 he who is in the field, do not let him turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.
and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
17 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;
But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18 and pray that your flight may not be in winter,
And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19 for those days will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, until now, and may not 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 did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He chose to Himself, He shortened the days.
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 may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ, or, Behold, there, you may not believe;
And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
22 for there will rise false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 and you, take heed; behold, I have foretold you all things.
But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, 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 of the sky will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
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 much 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 His messengers, and gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end 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 And from the fig tree learn the allegory: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, you know 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 so you, also, when you may see these coming to pass, you know that it is near, 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 that this generation may not pass away until all these things may come to pass;
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
31 the heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
32 And concerning that day and the hour no one has known—not even the messengers who are in Heaven, not even the Son—except 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 heed, watch and pray, for you have not known when the time is;
Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
34 as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, also commanded the doorkeeper that he may 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 watch, therefore, for you have not known when the lord of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at rooster-crowing, or at 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 lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch!”
But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
