< 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 says to him, Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind 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 having answered, he said to him, See thou these great buildings? There will be left, no, not a stone upon a stone, that will, no, not be brought 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 upon the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew questioned 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 will 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 having answered them, Jesus began to say to them, Watch that not any man lead you astray.
6 For, many, will come on my name, saying, I, am he! and, will deceive, many.
For many will come in my name, saying, I am, and they will 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 may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not alarmed, for it 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 will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginnings of travails.
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 watch ye yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be beaten in synagogues. And ye will be stood before rulers and kings because of me, for a testimony to them.
10 And, unto all the nations, first, must needs be proclaimed, the glad-message.
And the good news 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 lead you, delivering you up, be not anxious before what ye might speak, nor meditate. But whatever may be given you in that hour, speak ye this, for ye are not who speak, 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;
And brother will betray brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and will condemn them 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 by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will 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, which was spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those in Judea 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 let the man on the housetop not go down into the house, 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 the man who is in the field not turn back for the things behind, to take his cloak.
17 But alas for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, —in those days.
But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days.
18 But be praying, that it may not happen in winter.
And pray ye that your flight may not be in 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 will be tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and no, will not happen.
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 unless the Lord cut short the days, no flesh would have been saved, but because of the chosen, whom he chose, he cut short 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 should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, do not believe.
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 will give signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.
23 But, ye, beware: I have foretold you, all things.
But watch ye. Behold, I have foretold all to you.
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 will be darkened, and the moon will 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 the sky will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 And, then, will they see the Son of Man—coming in clouds, with great power and glory.
And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with much 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 he will send forth his agents, and will gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the outermost part of the earth as far as the outermost 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:
But learn a parable from the fig tree. When its branch now becomes tender, and sprouts the leaves, ye know that 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.
So ye also, when ye may see these things happening, know ye 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:
Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen.
31 The heaven and the earth, shall pass away, but, my words, shall not pass away.
The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, 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 about that day or that hour no man knows, not even the agents in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33 Be taking heed, be watching, for ye know not, when, the season [is]: —
Watch ye! Be alert 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: —
like a man abroad, having left his house, and having given authority to his bondmen, and to each man 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 know not when the lord of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at cock crowing, or in the morning,
36 Lest, coming suddenly, he find you, sleeping.
lest having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping.
37 But, what, unto you, I say, unto all, I say: —Be watching.
And what I say to you I say to all, watch!
