< 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 went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
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 unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that 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 upon the mount of Olives over against 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 shall be the sign when all these things shall 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 man deceive 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, I am Christ; and shall deceive 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;
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be 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 against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
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 take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 and to all the nations it is first necessary that the good news be proclaimed.
And the gospel must first be published among all 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, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
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,
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall 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 shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same 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, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand, ) then let them that be in Judæa 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 let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing 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 let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18 and pray that your flight may not be in winter,
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
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 in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither 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 except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the 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 man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him 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 shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 and you, take heed; behold, I have foretold you all things.
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
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 tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her 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 fall, and the powers that are in heaven 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 the 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 the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part 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;
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 so you, also, when you may see these coming to pass, you know that it is near, at the doors.
So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even 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, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31 the heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not 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 and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take heed, watch and pray, for you have not known when the time is;
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not 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;
For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to 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 ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the 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!”
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
