Mark 13

Jesus Speaks about the Future

13As Jesus was leaving the Temple that day, one of his disciples said, "Teacher, look at these magnificent buildings! Look at the impressive stones in the walls."G2532G846G1607G1537G2411G1520G846G3101G3004G846G1320G2396G4217G3037G2532G4217G36192Jesus replied, "Yes, look at these great buildings. But they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!"G2532G2424G611G2036G846G991G5025G3173G3619G863G3364G863G3037G1909G3037G3739G2647G3364G26473Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives across the valley from the Temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him privately and asked him,G2532G846G2521G1519G3735G1636G2713G2411G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G406G1905G846G2596G23984"Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to be fulfilled?"G2036G2254G4219G5023G2071G2532G5101G4592G3752G3956G5023G3195G49315Jesus replied, "Don't let anyone mislead you,G1161G2424G611G846G756G3004G991G3361G5100G4105G52096for many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah.'

They will deceive many.G1063G4183G2064G1909G3450G3686G3004G3754G1473G1510G2532G4105G41837And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don't panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow immediately.G1161G3752G191G4171G2532G189G4171G2360G3361G2360G1063G1163G1096G235G5056G37688Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many parts of the world, as well as famines. But this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.G1063G1484G1453G1909G1484G2532G932G1909G932G2532G2071G4578G2596G5117G2532G2071G3042G2532G5016G5023G746G56049"When these things begin to happen, watch out! You will be handed over to the local councils and beaten in the synagogues. You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are my followers. But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me

.G1161G5210G991G1438G1063G3860G5209G3860G1519G4892G2532G1519G4864G1194G2532G2476G71G1909G2232G2532G935G1700G1752G1519G3142G84610For the Good News must first be preached to all nations

.G2532G2098G1163G4412G2784G1519G3956G148411But when you are arrested and stand trial, don't worry in advance about what to say. Just say what God tells you at that time, for it is not you who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit.G1161G3752G71G3860G5209G3860G4305G3361G4305G5101G2980G3366G3191G235G3739G1437G1325G5213G1722G1565G5610G5124G2980G1063G2075G3756G5210G2980G235G40G415112"A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed.G1161G80G3860G80G1519G2288G2532G3962G5043G2532G5043G1881G1909G1118G2532G2289G846G228913And everyone will hate you because you are my followers

. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.G2532G2071G3404G5259G3956G1223G3450G1223G3686G1161G5278G1519G5056G3778G498214"The day is coming when you will see the sacrilegious object that causes desecration

standing where he should not be." (Reader, pay attention!) "Then those in Judea must flee to the hills.G1161G3752G1492G946G2050G4483G5259G1158G4396G2476G2476G3699G1163G3756G314G3539G5119G5343G1722G2449G5343G1519G373515A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack.G1161G2597G1909G1430G3361G2597G1519G3614G3366G1525G142G5100G1537G846G361416A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat.G2532G1994G5607G1519G68G3361G1519G1994G3694G1994G142G846G244017How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days.G1161G3759G2192G1722G1064G2532G2337G1722G1565G225018And pray that your flight will not be in winter.G1161G4336G3363G5216G5437G1096G3363G549419For there will be greater anguish in those days than at any time since God created the world. And it will never be so great again.G1063G1565G2250G2071G2347G5108G3634G1096G3756G575G746G2937G3739G2316G2936G2193G3568G2532G3364G109620In fact, unless the Lord shortens that time of calamity, not a single person will survive. But for the sake of his chosen ones he has shortened those days.G2532G1508G2962G2856G2250G3756G3956G4561G302G4982G235G1223G1588G3739G1586G2856G225021"Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah,' or 'There he is,' don't believe it.G2532G5119G1437G5100G2036G5213G2400G5602G5547G2228G2400G1563G4100G336122For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.G1063G5580G2532G5578G1453G2532G1325G4592G2532G5059G4314G635G1487G1415G2532G158823Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time!G1161G991G5210G991G2400G4280G5213G395624"At that time, after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light,G235G1722G1565G2250G3326G1565G2347G2246G4654G2532G4582G1325G3756G1325G846G533825the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken

.G2532G792G3772G2071G1601G2532G1411G1722G3772G453126Then everyone will see the Son of Man

coming on the clouds with great power and glory.G2532G5119G3700G5207G444G2064G1722G3507G3326G4183G1411G2532G139127And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world

—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.G2532G5119G649G846G32G2532G1996G846G1588G1537G5064G417G575G206G1093G2193G206G377228"Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.G1161G3129G3850G575G4808G3752G846G2798G1096G2235G527G2532G1631G5444G1097G3754G2330G2076G145129In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that his return is very near, right at the door.G3779G5210G2532G3752G1492G5023G1096G1097G3754G2076G1451G1909G237430I tell you the truth, this generation

will not pass from the scene before all these things take place.G281G3004G5213G3754G3778G1074G3928G3364G3928G3360G3739G3956G5023G109631Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.G3772G2532G1093G3928G1161G3450G3056G3928G3364G392832"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.G1161G4012G1565G2250G2532G5610G1492G3762G3761G32G3588G1722G3772G3761G5207G1508G396233And since you don't know when that time will come, be on guard! Stay alert

!G991G69G2532G4336G1063G1492G3756G4219G2540G207634"The coming of the Son of Man can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. When he left home, he gave each of his slaves instructions about the work they were to do, and he told the gatekeeper to watch for his return.G5613G444G590G863G846G3614G2532G1325G1849G846G1401G2532G1538G846G2041G2532G1781G2377G2443G112735You, too, must keep watch! For you don't know when the master of the household will return—in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak.G1127G3767G1063G1492G3756G4219G2962G3614G2064G3796G2228G3317G2228G219G2228G440436Don't let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning.G3361G2064G1810G2147G5209G251837I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch for him!"G1161G3739G3004G5213G3004G3956G1127
