Mark 13 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Darby Translation
Mark 13
1And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!
2And 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.
3And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4Tell us, when shall these things be? and whatshall bethe sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?
5And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.
6Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray.
7And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.
8For 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.
9But 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.
10And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.
11And 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 Spirit.
12And 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.
13And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
14But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains:
15and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house:
16and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
17But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!
18And pray ye that it be not in the winter.
19For 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.
20And 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.
21And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe it not:
22for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.
23But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.
26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27And 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.
28Now 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;
29even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors.
30Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.
31Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34It 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.
35Watch 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;
36lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark 13
1And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!
2And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.
3And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
5And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
6For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.
7But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for [this] must happen, but the end is not yet.
8For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things [are the] beginnings of throes.
9But ye, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them;
10and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
11But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, [nor prepare your discourse]: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for ye are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit.
12But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
13And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
14But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider [it],) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;
15and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter [into it] to take away anything out of his house;
16and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
17But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since [the] beginning of creation whichGod created, until now, and never shall be;
20and if [the] Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.
21And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
22For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;
25and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;
26and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
27and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
28But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
29Thus also ye, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.
30Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
31The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
32But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
34[it is] as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
35Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;
36lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
