| The Book of Mark 13 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:1 | As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!" | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:2 | "You see all these great buildings?" Jesus replied; "not one stone will be left here upon another not thrown down." | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:3 | He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him, | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:4 | "Tell us, When will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?" | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:5 | So Jesus began to say to them: "Take care that no one misleads you. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:6 | Many will come assuming my name and saying, `I am He;' and they will mislead many. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:7 | But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:8 | For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:9 | "You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:10 | But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all the Gentiles before the End comes. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:11 | When however they are marching you along under arrest, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but speak what is given you when the time comes; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:12 | "Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:13 | You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:14 | "As soon, however, as you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where he ought not" let the reader observe these words "then let those in Judaea escape to the hills; | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:15 | let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house to fetch anything out of it; | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:16 | and let not him who is in the field turn back to pick up his outer garment. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:17 | And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants! | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:18 | "But pray that it may not come in the winter. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:19 | For those will be times of suffering the like of which has never been from the first creation of God's world until now, and assuredly never will be again; | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:20 | and but for the fact that the Lord has cut short those days, no one would escape; but for the sake of His own People whom He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:21 | "At that time if any one says to you, `See, here is the Christ!' or `See, He is there!' do not believe it. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:22 | For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying signs and prodigies with a view to lead astray if indeed that were possible even God's own People. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:23 | But as for yourselves, be on your guard: I have forewarned you of everything. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:24 | "At that time, however, after that distress, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light; | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:25 | the stars will be seen falling from the firmament, and the forces which are in the heavens will be disordered and disturbed. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:26 | And then will they see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:27 | Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:28 | "Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:29 | So also do you, when you see these things happening, be sure that He is near, at your very door. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:30 | I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:31 | Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:32 | "But as to that day or the exact time no one knows not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:33 | Take care, be on the alert, and pray; for you do not know when it will happen. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:34 | It is like a man living abroad who has left his house, and given the management to his servants to each one his special duty and has ordered the porter to keep awake. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:35 | Be wakeful therefore, for you know not when the master of the house is coming in the evening, at midnight, at cock-crow, or at dawn. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:36 | Beware lest He should arrive unexpectedly and find you asleep. | |||||||||||||||
| Mark 13:37 | Moreover, what I say to you I say to all Be wakeful!" | |||||||||||||||
