Mark 13:1-15 ▼

1 And as He is going forth out of the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, “Teacher, see! What stones! And what buildings!”

2 And Jesus answering said to him, “See these great buildings? There may not be left a stone on a stone that may not be thrown down.”

3 And as He is sitting at the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning Him by Himself,

4 “Tell us when these things will be? And what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?”

5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, “Take heed lest anyone may lead you astray,

6 for many will come in My Name, saying, I am [He], and many they will lead astray;

7 and when you may hear of wars and reports of wars, do not be troubled, for these ought to be, but the end [is] not yet;

8 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 [are the] beginning of travails.

9 And take heed to yourselves, for they will deliver you up to Sanhedrins, and to synagogues, you will be beaten, and before governors and kings you will be set for My sake, for a testimony to them;

10 and to all the nations it is first necessary that the good news be proclaimed.

11 And when they may lead you, delivering up, do not be anxious beforehand what you may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak, for it is not you who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

12 And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children will rise up against parents, and will put them to death,

13 and you will be hated by all because of My Name, but he who has endured to the end—he will be saved.

14 And when you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it should not (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

15 and he on the housetop, do not let him come down into the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;
