< 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 went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of 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 said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, 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 over against 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 [shall be] the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?
5 And, Jesus, began to be saying unto them—Beware, lest anyone, deceive, you;
And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.
6 For, many, will come on my name, saying, I, am he! and, will deceive, many.
Many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and shall lead many astray.
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.
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not troubled: [these things] must needs come to pass; 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 against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail.
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 take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them.
10 And, unto all the nations, first, must needs be proclaimed, the glad-message.
And the gospel must first be preached unto 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.
And when they lead you [to judgment], and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: 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, unto death, and, father, child, and, children, will rise up, against parents, and put them to death;
And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his 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 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 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 see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judaea flee unto 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 let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take 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 let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloke.
17 But alas for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, —in those days.
But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!
18 But be praying, that it may not happen in winter.
And pray ye that it be not in the winter.
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 tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the 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 except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
21 And, then, if any, unto you, say—See! Here, is the Christ! See! there, do not believe it;
And then if any man shall say unto 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 there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.
23 But, ye, beware: I have foretold you, all things.
But take ye 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 tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her 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 shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that 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 forth the 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 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:
Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;
29 Thus, ye also, when ye shall see these things coming to pass, observe ye, that, near, he is, at the doors.
even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, [even] 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 not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.
31 The heaven and the earth, shall pass away, but, my words, shall not pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not 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 that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Be taking heed, be watching, for ye know not, when, the season [is]: —
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not 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 [when] a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to 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 know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the 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.
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
