Mark:13:1-37
rsv@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"
rsv@Mark:13:2 @ And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."
rsv@Mark:13:3 @ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
rsv@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?"
rsv@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray.
rsv@Mark:13:6 @ Many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and they will lead many astray.
rsv@Mark:13:7 @ And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet.
rsv@Mark:13:8 @ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
rsv@Mark:13:9 @ "But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them.
rsv@Mark:13:10 @ And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.
rsv@Mark:13:11 @ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
rsv@Mark:13:12 @ And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
rsv@Mark:13:13 @ and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
rsv@Mark:13:14 @ "But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
rsv@Mark:13:15 @ let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away;
rsv@Mark:13:16 @ and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.
rsv@Mark:13:17 @ And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!
rsv@Mark:13:18 @ Pray that it may not happen in winter.
rsv@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
rsv@Mark:13:20 @ And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
rsv@Mark:13:21 @ And then if any one says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or `Look, there he is!' do not believe it.
rsv@Mark:13:22 @ False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
rsv@Mark:13:23 @ But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand.
rsv@Mark:13:24 @ "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
rsv@Mark:13:25 @ and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
rsv@Mark:13:26 @ And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
rsv@Mark:13:27 @ And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
rsv@Mark:13:28 @ "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
rsv@Mark:13:29 @ So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates.
rsv@Mark:13:30 @ Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.
rsv@Mark:13:31 @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
rsv@Mark:13:32 @ "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
rsv@Mark:13:33 @ Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come.
rsv@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch.
rsv@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore--for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning--
rsv@Mark:13:36 @ lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.
rsv@Mark:13:37 @ And what I say to you I say to all: Watch."
