< Mark 13 >

1 As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings."
And as Jesus retired from the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Teacher; behold; see these stones, and these structures!
2 And Yeshua said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down."
And Jesus said to him: Admirest thou these great structures? There will not be left here one stone upon another, not demolished.
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Kipha, Yaquv, Yukhanan, and Andreus asked him privately,
And as Jesus was sitting on the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Cephas and James and John and Andrew asked him, privately:
4 "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"
Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign that these things approach their consummation?
5 And Yeshua began to say to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
And Jesus began to say to them Beware, that no one mislead you:
6 Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he.' and will lead many astray.
for many will come in my name, and will say: I am he. And they will mislead many.
7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled. Such things must happen, but the end is not yet.
But when ye shall hear of battles, and the rumor of battles, be not afraid; for this must be; but the end is not yet.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in several places, and there will be famines and insurrections. These are the beginning of sorrows.
9 But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them.
And take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to the tribunals; and ye will be beaten in the synagogues, and ye will stand before kings and governors, on my account, for a testimony to them.
10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
And my tidings must first be proclaimed among all the nations.
11 When they lead you away and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Rukha d'Qudsha.
And when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not solicitous beforehand what ye shall say, neither premeditate; but, that which shall be given you in that hour, speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 "Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
And brother will deliver up his brother to death, and the father his son; and children will rise up against their parents, and will kill them.
13 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
And ye will be hated of every man, on account of my name. But whoever shall persevere to the end, shall live.
14 But when you see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Yehuda flee to the mountains,
And when ye see the profane sign of desolation, which was mentioned by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not; (let him that readeth, understand; ) then let those that are in Judaea, flee to the mountain:
15 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
and let him that is on the roof, not come down and enter it, to take any thing from his house:
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
and let him that is in the field, not return back to take his clothing.
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days.
But, woe to those with child, and to those who nurse children, in those days!
18 And pray that it won't be in the winter.
And pray ye, that your flight be not in winter.
19 For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
For in those days will be affliction, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God made until now, and shall not be.
20 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.
And, unless God should shorten those days, no flesh would live. But, on account of the elect whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened those days.
21 Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Meshikha.' or, 'Look, there.' do not believe it.
Then, if any one shall say to you: Lo, here is Messiah, or lo, there; give not credence.
22 For there will arise false meshikhas and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the chosen ones.
For false Messiahs will arise, and lying prophets; and they will give signs and wonders; and will deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 But you watch. "I have told you all things beforehand.
But take ye heed. Lo, I have told you the whole beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
And in those days, after that affliction, the sun will be darkened; and the moon will not give her light;
25 the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
and the stars will fall from heaven; and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.
27 Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of the sky.
And then will he send forth his angels, and will assemble his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of earth to the extremity of heaven.
28 "Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
And, from the fig-tree learn ye a simile. When its twigs are tender, and its leaves bud forth, ye know that summer approacheth.
29 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
So also, when ye shall see these occurrences, know ye, that it is near, at the door.
30 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
Verily I say to you, That this generation shall not pass away, until all these things occur.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 But of that day or the hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
But of that day and that hour, knoweth no man; nor the angels of heaven; neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
Take heed, watch, and pray; for ye know not when the time is.
34 "It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
For it is as a man, who took a journey, and left his home; and he gave authority to his servants, and to each his service; and he commanded the porter to be watchful.
35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the lord of the house is coming—at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
Watch ye, therefore; for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh; at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning:
36 lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
lest he come suddenly, and find you sleeping.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch."
And what I say to you, I say to you all: Be ye watchful.
