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 he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto him, Master, behold what vast stones, and what structures!
2 And Jesus 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 answering said to him, Beholdest thou these magnificent structures? there shall not be left one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down.

And as he was sitting on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter 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 shall these things be? and what is the sign when all these things shall come to pass?
5 And Jesus began to say to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Then Jesus answering them, began to say, Beware that no man deceive you:
6 Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he.' and will lead many astray.
for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive 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 hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be not troubled: for these things 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.
And nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and commotions: these are the beginnings 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.
But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to their sanhedrims, and to the synagogues; ye shall be beaten with rods, and be set before kings and governors for my name’s sake, for a testimony unto them.
10 The gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
And the Gospel must first be preached to all 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 Holy Spirit.
But when delivering you up, they shall bring you to the bar, be not previously anxious what ye shall say, neither premeditate: for it shall be given to you at that very hour, what ye shall speak: for it is not you, who are speaking, but the Holy Ghost.
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 shall deliver up brother unto death, and the father the son: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
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 shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when you see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
But when ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing where it ought not (let him that readeth observe), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains:
15 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
and let not him who is on the roof go down into the house, nor enter into it, to carry away any thing out of the house:
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
and he that is in the field, let him not return back to take his garment.
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days.
But wo to those who are big with child, and who have infants at their breasts in those days!
18 And pray that it won't be in the winter.
And pray 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 these days shall bring tribulation, such as the like hath never been from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, and never shall be more.
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 except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been preserved: but for the sake of those elect, whom he hath elected, he hath shortened the days.
21 Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah.' or, 'Look, there.' do not believe it.
And then, if any man say to you, Lo, here is the Messiah! or, lo there! believe it not.
22 For there will arise false messiahs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the chosen ones.
For many false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and shall propose signs and wonders to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But you watch. "I have told you all things beforehand.
But be ye on your guard: lo! I have told you all things:
24 But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
but in those days, after that distressing season, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not emit her light;
25 the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
and the stars of the heaven will be falling, and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken.
26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with vast 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 shall he send his angels, and shall gather to him his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the utmost bound 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;
Now learn from the fig-tree, a parable; When her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh;
29 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
so also you, when ye see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall never 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 hour knoweth no man, nor the angels which are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
Take ye 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.
As a man going abroad, when he left his abode, and gave his servants authority, and to each his work, commanded also the porter to watch.
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 at what time the master of the house cometh, at evening, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or in the morning:
36 lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
lest coming suddenly he find you asleep.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch."
Now what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
