Mark 13
13
Destruction of the Temple Predicted
1As # 13:1–37 Mt 24:1–51; Lk 21:5–38 he was going out of the temple, # 13:1 Ac 21:26 one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, # 13:1 Mk 4:38 look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings! ” # 13:1 1Co 14:3
2Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? # 13:2 Mk 14:58 Not one stone will be left upon another — all will be thrown down.”
Signs of the End of the Age
3While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives # 13:3 Mt 21:1 across from the temple, # 13:3 Ac 21:26 Peter, # 13:3 Lk 6:14; Ac 10:32 James, # 13:3 Ac 12:2 John, # 13:3 Jn 21:7 and Andrew # 13:3 Jn 6:8 asked him privately, 4“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? ”
5Jesus told them, “Watch out that no one deceives you. 6Many will come in my name, # 13:6 Jn 10:25; 14:13 saying, ‘I am he,’ # 13:6 Ex 3:14; Ps 45:8; Jn 8:24 and they will deceive # 13:6 1Jn 4:6 many. 7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, # 13:7 Jr 51:46; Dn 11:44 don’t be alarmed; # 13:7 2Th 2:2 these things must take place, # 13:7 Dn 2:28–29 but it is not yet the end. 8For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. # 13:8 Is 19:2 There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. # 13:8 Other mss add and disturbances These are the beginning # 13:8 Ac 26:4 of birth pains. # 13:8 Gl 4:19
Persecutions Predicted
9 “But you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to local courts, # 13:9 Or sanhedrins,# 13:9 Mt 10:17 and you will be flogged # 13:9 Lk 22:63; Ac 5:40; 16:19–23,37 in the synagogues. # 13:9 Jms 2:2 You will stand before governors and kings # 13:9 Ac 24:10–27; 25:1–12,23–27 because of me, # 13:9 Rm 8:36 as a witness # 13:9 Mk 6:11; 1Tm 2:6 to them. # 13:9 Php 1:12 10And it is necessary that the gospel # 13:10 Mk 1:1; Php 1:5 be preached to all nations. 11So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say, but say whatever is given to you at that time, for it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12 “Brother will betray # 13:12 Jn 13:21 brother to death, # 13:12 Is 19:2; Mc 7:6 and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 13You will be hated by everyone because of my name, # 13:13 Mt 10:22; Lk 6:22; Jn 15:18–21 but the one who endures to the end will be saved. # 13:13 1Co 4:12; 2Th 1:4; 2Tm 2:12; Jms 1:12
The Great Tribulation
14 “When you see the abomination of desolation # 13:14 Dn 9:27,# 13:14 Dn 9:27; 11:31; 12:11 standing where it should not be” (let the reader understand), “then those in Judea # 13:14 Lk 1:5 must flee to the mountains. 15A man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of his house, # 13:15 Mt 24:17; Lk 17:31 16and a man in the field must not go back to get his coat. # 13:16 Lk 19:36 17Woe # 13:17 Rv 9:12 to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!
18 “Pray # 13:18 Mt 5:44; Ac 12:12 it # 13:18 Other mss read “Pray that your escape won’t happen in winter. 19For those will be days of tribulation, # 13:19 2Co 1:4 the kind that hasn’t been from the beginning of creation # 13:19 Jn 1:3; Rv 3:14, which God created, until now and never will be again. # 13:19 Dn 12:1 20If the Lord # 13:20 Col 4:1; Jd 5 had not cut those days short, # 13:20 Is 60:21–22 no one would be saved. But he cut those days short for the sake of the elect, # 13:20 Mt 24:22 whom he chose. # 13:20 Eph 1:4
21 “Then if anyone tells you, ‘See, here is the Messiah! # 13:21 Mt 1:17; Eph 5:2 See, there! ’ do not believe it. 22For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders # 13:22 Ex 7:3; Dn 6:27; Jn 4:48; Ac 4:30; Rm 15:19; 2Th 2:9; Heb 2:4 to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.
The Coming of the Son of Man
24 “But in those days, after that tribulation: # 13:24 2Co 1:4 The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; 25the stars # 13:25 Rv 1:16 will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. # 13:24–25 Is 13:10; 34:4; Jl 2:10,31; 3:15 26Then they will see the Son of Man # 13:26 Mk 2:10 coming # 13:26 Mk 8:38; 1Th 4:16 in clouds # 13:26 Dn 7:13–14 with great power # 13:26 Lk 6:19 and glory. # 13:26 Mk 10:37; Lk 9:32 27He will send out the angels # 13:27 Mt 13:49; Ac 5:19; Rv 14:6 and gather his elect # 13:27 Mt 22:14,22 from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. # 13:27 Zch 2:6
The Parable of the Fig Tree
28 “Learn # 13:28 Jn 7:15 this lesson # 13:28 Mk 12:1 from the fig # 13:28 Jn 1:48 tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. # 13:28 Rv 1:1 29In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize # 13:29 Or you know that he # 13:29 Or it is near — at the door.
30 “Truly I tell you, # 13:30 Ps 72:19; Rv 22:21 this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place. 31Heaven and earth # 13:31 Lk 10:21 will pass away, # 13:31 2Pt 3:10 but my words will never pass away. # 13:31 Ps 102:25–27; Is 40:6–8; 51:6; Mt 5:18; Lk 16:17
No One Knows the Day or Hour
32 “Now concerning that day # 13:32 Mt 25:13 or hour no one knows — neither the angels # 13:32 Mt 13:49 in heaven nor the Son # 13:32 Jn 5:19; Heb 1:2 — but only the Father. # 13:32 Mt 5:16; 11:27; Jn 8:42
33 “Watch! Be alert! # 13:33 Other mss add and pray For you don’t know when the time # 13:33 Lk 20:20 is coming. # 13:33 Ac 1:7; 1Th 5:1–2; 1Pt 5:6
34 “It is like # 13:34 Lk 12:35–40 a man on a journey, who left his house, gave authority to his servants, # 13:34 Mt 10:24 gave each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to be alert. 35Therefore be alert, # 13:35 Rv 16:15 since you don’t know when the master # 13:35 Col 3:22 of the house is coming — whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the rooster or early in the morning. 36Otherwise, when he comes suddenly he might find you sleeping. # 13:36 Pr 6:4 37And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert! ”

Markos 13
13
1And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was going out from the Beis HaMikdash, one of his talmidim says to him, Hinei! Rebbe, what large stones and impressive binyanim (buildings)! 2And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Do you see these great binyanim? Not one even (stone) will be left resting on another even (stone). All will be thrown down!
3And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the Beis HaMikdash having a yechidus (private meeting) with Kefa and Ya'akov and Yochanan and Andrew. 4Tell us when these things will be and what [will be] the ot (sign) when all these things are about to be consummated? 5And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to say to them, Beware lest anyone deceive you. 6For many will come in my name#13:6 i.e., arrogating my title and authority as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saying I am [here]. And they will deceive many.#13:6 Jer 29:8 7But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled. It is necessary for these things to occur, but it is not yet HaKetz (the End).#13:7 of the Olam Hazeh 8For there will be an intifada of ethnic group against ethnic group and malchut against malchut, there will be earthquakes in place after place, [and] there will be famines. These things are but the beginning of the Chevlei.#13:8 Moshiach
9But as for yourselves, take heed and be careful. For they will hand you over to the sanhedrin and in the shuls you will be beaten and before moshlim (governors) and melachim (kings) you will take your stand for the sake of me#13:9 Moshiach as a solemn edut (testimony) to them. 10And it is necessary that the Besuras HaGeulah first be proclaimed to all nations. 11And when they arraign you and hand you over for trial, do not be worried beforehand about what you might say; but whatever is given to you in that hour, this you shall say, for it is not you yourselves who are the ones speaking, but the Ruach Hakodesh. 12And ach will hand over ach to mavet, and Av [his] own yeled, and yeladim will rise up against horim (parents) and cause them to be condemned with onesh mavet (the death penalty).#13:12 Mic 7:6 13And everyone will hate you with sinas chinom (baseless hatred) because of my Name.#13:13 Yehoshua, Yeshua But the one having endured to HaKetz, this one will receive Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
14And when you see the SHIKUTS MESHOMEM#13:14 Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11 (the abomination of desolation, the abomination that causes desolation) standing where it ought not — let the one reading this, take heed — then let the ones in Yehudah flee to the mountains. 15And the one on the roof, let him not come down back inside, and let him not enter his bais to take anything away. 16And the one in the sadeh (field) let him not turn back to get his kaftan. 17And oy to the ones with child and the ones with nursing infants in those days. 18But daven tefillos that it may not occur in khoref (winter). 19For in those days will be Tzarah Gedolah (Great Tribulation) of such a kind as has not happened from [the] Reshit Yedei HaBriah (Beginning of the Days of Creation) which Hashem created until now, and never again will be.#13:19 Dan 9:26; 12:1; Yoel 2:2 20And unless Hashem makes those yamim shortened, no one would be delivered in the Yeshu'at Eloheinu. But for the sake of the Bechirim, whom Hashem chose, he shortened the yamim. 21And, then, if someone says to you, Hinei! Here [is] the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach! Hinei! There! do not have emunah in what they say. 22For meshichei sheker (false moshiachs) will arise, and neviei sheker (false prophets), and they will perform otot and moftim so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, the Bechirim.#13:22 Dt 13:6,7,11,14 23But you beware. I have forewarned you concerning all things.
24But after the Tzarah#13:24 13:19 of yamim hahem, the shemesh will be darkened, and the levanah will not give its ohr, 25And the kokhavim (stars) will be falling out of Shomayim, and the kochot (powers), the ones in Shomayim, will be shaken.#13:25 Isa 13:10; 34:4; Ezek 32:7-8; Am 8:9; Yoel 3:3f 26And then you will see the BAR ENOSH BA BAANANIM (the Son of Man [Moshiach] coming in clouds)#13:26 Dan 7:13-14 with gevurah rabbah (great power) and kavod (glory). 27And then he will send the malachim and he will gather together his Bechirim#13:27 13:20 from the four winds, from the ends (extremities) of haaretz to the ends (extremities) of Shomayim.#13:27 Zech 2:6
28And from the etz teenah (fig tree) learn the mashal: when by that time its branch has become tender and it puts forth the leaves, you have daas that Kayitz is near; 29So also you, when you see these things happening, have daas that it is near, at the doors. 30Omein, I say to you that by no means HaDor HaZeh passes away until all these things take place.#13:30 Mk 13:24; Mt 27:45 31Shomayim and haaretz will pass away, but the devarim of me#13:31 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach will by no means pass away.#13:31 Isa 40:8
32But concerning HaYom HaHu or the shaah, no one has daas, neither the malachim in Shomayim nor HaBen, but only HaAv. 33Beware, stay shomer (on guard), for you do not have daas when the time is. 34It is like a man, when departing on a journey and leaving his bais (house) and, having put his avadim (servants) in charge, each with his assigned avodah (work), gives orders to the gatekeeper to be shomer. 35Therefore you be shomer, for you do not have daas when the Baal Bayit comes, either late in the yom or at chatzot halailah or at cockcrow or baboker, 36Lest having come PITOM (suddenly)#13:36 Mal 3:1 he finds you sleeping. 37And what I say to you, I say to all, be shomer.
