Mark 13
13
1And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings! 2And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down. 3And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
5And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you. 6For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many. 7But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet. 8For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in different places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things are the beginnings of throes. 9But ye, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them; 10and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, nor prepare your discourse: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for ye are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit. 12But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 13And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
14But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider it,) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains; 15and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter into it to take away anything out of his house; 16and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment. 17But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days! 18And pray that it may not be in winter time; 19for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be; 20and if the Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days. 21And then if any one say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or Lo, there, believe it not. 22For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light; 25and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken; 26and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory; 27and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
28But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near. 29Thus also ye, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors. 30Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place. 31The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away. 32But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. 33Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is: 34it is as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch. 35Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning; 36lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.

Mark 13
13
1 And as he was departing from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, observe these fine stones and fine structures."
2 And in response, Jesus said to him: "Do you see all these great buildings? There shall not be left stone upon stone, which is not torn down."
3 And as he sat at the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew questioned him privately.
4 "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things will begin to be fulfilled?"
5 And Jesus, answering, began to say to them: "See to it that no one leads you astray.
6 For many will come in my name, saying, 'For I am he,' and they will lead many astray.
7 But when you will have heard of wars and rumors of wars, you should not be afraid. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
8 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom over kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are but the beginning of the sorrows.
9 But see to yourselves. For they will hand you over to councils, and in the synagogues you will be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony for them.
10 And the Gospel must first be preached to all nations.
11 And when they have seized you and handed you over, do not consider in advance what to say. But whatever will be given you in that hour, say that. For you will not be speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Then brother will betray brother to death, and the father, a son; and children will rise up against their parents and will bring about their death.
13 And you will be hated by all for the sake of my name. But whoever will have persevered unto the end, the same will be saved.
14 Then, when you have seen the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not to be, let the reader understand: then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
15 And let whoever is on the rooftop not descend to the house, nor enter so as to take anything from the house.
16 And let whoever may be in the field not return to take his garment.
17 But woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.
18 Truly, pray that these things may not happen in winter.
19 For those days shall have such tribulations as have not been since the beginning of the creation that God founded, even until now, and shall not be.
20 And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would be saved. But, for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.
21 And then, if anyone will have said to you: 'Behold, here is the Christ. Behold, in that place.' Do not believe it.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and they will present signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 Therefore, you must take heed. Behold, I have foretold all to you.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her splendor.
25 And the stars of heaven will be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven will be moved.
26 And then they shall see the Son of man arriving on the clouds, with great power and glory.
27 And then he will send his Angels, and gather together his elect, from the four winds, from the limits of the earth, to the limits of heaven.
28 Now from the fig tree discern a parable. When its branch becomes tender and the foliage has been formed, you know that summer is very near.
29 So also, when you will have seen these things happen, know that it is very near, even at the doors.
30 Amen I say to you, that this lineage shall not pass away, until all these things have happened.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.
32 But concerning that day or hour, no one knows, neither the Angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Take heed, be vigilant, and pray. For you do not know when the time may be.
34 It is like a man who, setting out on a sojourn, left behind his house, and gave his servants authority over every work, and instructed the doorkeeper to stand watch.
35 Therefore, be vigilant, for you do not know when the lord of the house may arrive: in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at first light, or in the morning.
36 Otherwise, when he will have arrived unexpectedly, he may find you sleeping.
37 But what I say to you, I say to all: Be vigilant."
