< Mark 13 >

1 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!
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, 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.
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 was sitting within the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning him, privately—
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, shall be, and, what the sign, when all these things shall be about to be concluded.
Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
5 And, Jesus, began to be saying unto them—Beware, lest anyone, deceive, you;
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
6 For, many, will come on my name, saying, I, am he! and, will deceive, many.
For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.
7 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.
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 there will arise—Nation against nation, and, kingdom against kingdom, —there will be earthquakes in places, there will be famines: —
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 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.
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, unto all the nations, first, must needs be proclaimed, the glad-message.
and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
11 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.
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, unto death, and, father, child, and, children, will rise up, against parents, and 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 ye will be men hated by all, because of my name; but, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall 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 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;
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 He that is on the house-top, let him not come down, neither let him enter, to take away anything out of his louse;
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 that hath gone into the field, let him not turn back unto the things behind, to take away his mantle.
and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
17 But alas for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, —in those days.
But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18 But be praying, that it may not happen in winter.
And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19 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.
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, 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.
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, unto you, say—See! Here, is the Christ! See! there, do not believe it;
And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
22 For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets; and they will show signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, the chosen.
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 But, ye, beware: 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, shall be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness,
But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;
25 And, the stars, will, out of the heavens, be falling, —and, the powers which 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, will they see the Son of Man—coming in clouds, with great power and glory.
and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
27 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.
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 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:
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 Thus, ye also, when ye shall see these things coming to pass, observe ye, that, near, he is, at the doors.
Thus also ye, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Verily, I say unto you—In nowise, shall this generation pass away, until all these things, shall happen:
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, shall pass away, but, my words, shall not pass away.
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
32 But, concerning that day or hour, no one, knoweth, neither the messengers in heaven, nor the Son, —save 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 Be taking heed, be watching, for ye know not, when, the season [is]: —
Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
34 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: —
[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 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; —
Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;
36 Lest, coming suddenly, he find you, sleeping.
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 But, what, unto you, I say, unto all, I say: —Be watching.
But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
