Mark 13

¹And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here.

²And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.

³And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:

⁴Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?

⁵And Jesus answering, began to say to them: Take heed lest any man deceive you.

⁶For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many.

⁷And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be: but the end is not yet.

⁸For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.

⁹But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you Up to councils: and in the synagogues you shall be beaten: and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁰And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.

¹¹And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

¹²And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against their parents and shall work their death.

¹³And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.

¹⁴And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains.

¹⁵And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house.

¹⁶And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up his garment.

¹⁷And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days.

¹⁸But pray ye that these things happen not in winter.

¹⁹For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now: neither shall be.

²⁰And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but, for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

²¹And then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ. Lo, he is here: do not believe.

²²For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets: and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect.

²³Take you heed therefore: behold, I have foretold you all things.

²⁴But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light.

²⁵And the stars of heaven shall be falling down and the powers that are in heaven shall be moved.

²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.

²⁷And 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.

²⁸Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near.

²⁹So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors.

³⁰Amen, I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all these things be done.

³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass away.

³²But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

³³Take ye heed, watch and pray. For ye know not when the time is.

³⁴Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter to watch.

³⁵Watch ye therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning):

³⁶Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.

³⁷And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.

Mark 13

¹And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

²And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

³And as he sat upon 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 what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

⁵And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

⁶For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

⁷And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

⁸For 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.

⁹But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

¹⁰And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

¹¹But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

¹²Now 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.

¹³And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁴But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains:

¹⁵And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

¹⁶And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

¹⁷But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

¹⁸And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

¹⁹For 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.

²⁰And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

²¹And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

²²For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

²³But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

²⁴But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

²⁵And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

²⁷And 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.

²⁸Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

²⁹So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

³⁰Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³²But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

³³Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

³⁴For 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 porter to watch.

³⁵Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

³⁶Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
