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 saith to Him, Master, behold what fine stones are here, and what stately buildings!
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, Thou seest these grand buildings: but there shall not be left one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down.
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
And as He was sitting on the mount of Olives over against 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?”
saying, Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign when all these things are to be accomplished.
5 Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
But Jesus answered them and said, Beware least any one 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 the 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 ye hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be not troubled; for such things must happen; but the end will 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 famines and troubles: these will be 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 look to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils, and synagogues: and ye shall be scourged, and set before governors and kings on my account, for a testimony against them.
10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
And the gospel must first be published to 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 to deliver you up, be not anxiously careful beforehand what ye shall speak, neither premeditate: but whatever shall be suggested to you at that very time, this speak: for it is not you 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.
One brother shall betray another to death, and the father the son: and children shall appear against their parents, and 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 ye shall be hated by all men for my sake: but he that endures to the end 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,
Now when ye shall see the desolating abomination, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, set up where it ought not to be, (let him that readeth, attend) then let those in Judea 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 not him that is at the top of the house come down into the house, nor go in to fetch any thing out of his house:
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
nor let him that is in the field return back for his clothes.
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
But wo 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.
But pray that your flight may not be 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 such affliction as never was from the beginning of the world, unto this day, nor ever 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 if the Lord did not shorten those days, none could escape: but for the sake of the elect, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened those days.
21 Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.
And then if any shall say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or, Behold, He is there, believe it 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 there shall rise up false Christs, and false prophets, who shall work signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, even the elect.
23 But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
But do ye beware: behold, I have told you all before.
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 affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give it's light; and the stars of heaven shall fall,
25 the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
and the powers in the heavens 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 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 He will then send forth his messengers, and will gather his elect together from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end 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 from the fig-tree: when it's branch is tender and bringeth 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 ye also, when ye see these things come to pass, know that He is near, even at the doors.
30 Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
Verily I tell you, that this generation shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words cannot 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 hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
Take heed therefore, 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 travelling abroad, who left his house, and gave charge to his servants, to each his work, and bid the porter be watchful.
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 ye therefore; for ye know not when the master of the house cometh: (in the evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning: )
36 lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.
least coming on a sudden he should find you sleeping.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”
And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
