| 13 | Mark |
|
| 1 |
And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!" | The Destruction of the Temple Foretold Mk.13.1-2 (Olivet) -[ Mk.13.1-2 → ] - Mt.24.1-2, Lk.21.5-6 |
| 2 |
And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down." | |
| 3 |
And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, | The Beginning of the Woes Mk.13.3-13 (Olivet) -[ Mk.13.3-13 → ] - Mt.24.3-14, Lk.21.7-19 |
| 4 |
"Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?" | |
| 5 |
And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. | |
| 6 |
Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and they will lead many astray. | |
| 7 |
And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet. | |
| 8 |
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs. | |
| 9 |
"But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them. | Coming Persecutions Mk.13.9-13 (Olivet) -[ Mk.13.9-13 → ] - Mt.10.16-25, Lk.21.12-17 |
| 10 |
And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. | |
| 11 |
And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. | |
| 12 |
And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; | |
| 13 |
and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. | |
| 14 |
"But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; | The Great Tribulation Mk.13.14-23 (Olivet) -[ Mk.13.14-23 → ] - Mt.24.15-28, Lk.21.20-24, Dn.9.27, Dn.11.31, Dn.12.11 |
| 15 |
let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away; | |
| 16 |
and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. | |
| 17 |
And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! | |
| 18 |
Pray that it may not happen in winter. | |
| 19 |
For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be. | - For in those days there will be such tribulation Mk.13.19 - Dn.12.1 |
| 20 |
And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. | |
| 21 |
And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. | |
| 22 |
False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. | |
| 23 |
But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand. | |
| 24 |
"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, | The Coming of the Son of Man Mk.13.24-27[ Mk.13.24-27 → ] - Mt.24.32-35, Lk.21.29-33, Is.13.10, Is.34.4, Eze.32.7 |
| 25 |
and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. | |
| 26 |
And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. | |
| 27 |
And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. | |
| 28 |
"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. | The Lesson of the Fig Tree Mk.13.28-31 (Olivet) -[ Mk.13.28-31 → ] - Mt.24.32-35, Lk.21.29-33 |
| 29 |
So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. | |
| 30 |
Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place. | |
| 31 |
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will 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. | The Unknown Day and Hour Mk.13.32-37 (Olivet) -[ Mk.13.32-37 → ] - Mt.24.36-44, Lk.17.26-30, Lk.17.34-36 |
| 33 |
Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come. | |
| 34 |
It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. | |
| 35 |
Watch therefore - for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning - | |
| 36 |
lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. | |
| 37 |
And what I say to you I say to all: Watch." | |
