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 went out of the temple, one of his disciples says unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2 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 unto him, See you these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

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 shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads 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 will lead many astray.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7 “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
And when all of you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be all of you not troubled: for such things must essentially be; but the end shall not be yet.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
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 “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, for a testimony to them.
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues all of you shall be beaten: and all of you shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t 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 they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what all of you shall speak, neither do all of you premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak all of you: for it is not all of you that speak, but the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
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.
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 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
And all of you 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 “But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
But when all of you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand, ) then let them that be in Judaea flee 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 him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
And let him that is in the field not turn back again in order to take up his garment.
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18 Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.
And pray all of you that your flight be not in the 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 shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall 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 except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.
21 Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.
And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
But take all of you heed: behold, I have foretold 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 tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 the stars will be falling from the sky, 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 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 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 ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
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 “Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, all of you know that summer is near:
29 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
So all of you in like manner, when all of you shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Most certainly 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, till all these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words (logos) shall not pass away.
32 “But of that day or that hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
Take all of you heed, watch and pray: for all of you 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 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 gate keeper to watch.
35 Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming—whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
Watch all of you therefore: for all of you know not when the master of the house comes, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
