Mark 13


Mark 13:1 As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"
Mark 13:2 And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down."
Mark 13:3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,
Mark 13:4 "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?"
Mark 13:5 And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.
Mark 13:6 Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He!' and will mislead many.
Mark 13:7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.
Mark 13:8 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
Mark 13:9 "But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.
Mark 13:10 The gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
Mark 13:11 When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.
Mark 13:12 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
Mark 13:13 You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
Mark 13:14 "But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.
Mark 13:15 The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house;
Mark 13:16 and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.
Mark 13:17 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
Mark 13:18 But pray that it may not happen in the winter.
Mark 13:19 For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.
Mark 13:20 Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
Mark 13:21 And then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ'; or, 'Behold, He is there'; do not believe him;
Mark 13:22 for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
Mark 13:23 But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.
Mark 13:24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,
Mark 13:25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
Mark 13:26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Mark 13:27 And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.
Mark 13:28 "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
Mark 13:29 Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.
Mark 13:30 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Mark 13:32 But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
Mark 13:33 "Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come.
Mark 13:34 It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.
Mark 13:35 Therefore, be on the alert--for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning--
Mark 13:36 in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep.
Mark 13:37 What I say to you I say to all, 'Be on the alert!'"

Mark 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: (kjv) Mark 13:15 The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house; Mark 13:15 ὁ [δὲ] ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος μὴ καταβάτω μηδὲ εἰσελθάτω ἆραί τι ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ,

Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. (kjv) Mark 13:26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. Mark 13:26 καὶ τότε ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλαις μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς καὶ δόξης.
Mark 13:27 And 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.

Mark 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. (kjv) Mark 13:29 Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Mark 13:29 οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.
Mark 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. (kjv) Mark 13:30 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Mark 13:30 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη μέχρις οὖ ταῦτα πάντα γένηται.
Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. (kjv) Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Mark 13:31 ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσονται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρελεύσονται.
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. (kjv) Mark 13:32 But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Mark 13:32 περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ἢ τῆς ὥρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι ἐν οὐρανῶ οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ.
Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. (kjv) Mark 13:33 "Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come. Mark 13:33 βλέπετε ἀγρυπνεῖτε· οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ καιρός ἐστιν.
Mark 13:34 For 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. (kjv) Mark 13:34 It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. Mark 13:34 ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀπόδημος ἀφεὶς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ δοὺς τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐξουσίαν, ἑκάστῳ τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῶ θυρωρῶ ἐνετείλατο ἵνα γρηγορῇ.
Mark 13 35 Watch 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 (kjv) Mark 13:35 Therefore, be on the alert--for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning-- Mark 13:35 γρηγορεῖτε οὗν, οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ κύριος τῆς οἰκίας ἔρχεται, ἢ ὀψὲ ἢ μεσονύκτιον ἢ ἀλεκτοροφωνίας ἢ πρωΐ,
Mark 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. (kjv) Mark 13:36 in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep. Mark 13:36 μὴ ἐλθὼν ἐξαίφνης εὕρῃ ὑμᾶς καθεύδοντας.
Mark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.(kjv) Mark 13:37 What I say to you I say to all, 'Be on the alert!'" Mark 13:37 ὃ δὲ ὑμῖν λέγω, πᾶσιν λέγω, γρηγορεῖτε.
