My Notes

Image is to set the theme, not to be accurate.

Mark 13

13 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

² And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

³ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

⁴ Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

⁵ And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

⁶ For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

⁷ And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

⁸ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

⁹ But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

¹⁰ And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

¹¹ But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

¹² Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

¹³ And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁴ But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

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:

¹⁶ And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

¹⁷ But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

¹⁸ And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

¹⁹ For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

²⁰ And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

²¹ And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

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

²³ But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

²⁴ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

²⁵ And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

²⁶ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

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.

²⁸ Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

²⁹ So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

³⁰ Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

³¹ Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

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.

³³ Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

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.

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:

³⁶ Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷ And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Jesus Warns About the Future ^{( A )}

13 Jesus was leaving the Temple area. One of his followers said to him, “Teacher, look how big those stones are! What beautiful buildings!”

² Jesus said, “Do you see these great buildings? They will all be destroyed. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left on another.”

³ Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives. He was alone with Peter, James, John, and Andrew. They could all see the Temple, and they said to Jesus, ⁴ “Tell us when these things will happen. And what will show us it is time for them to happen?”

⁵ Jesus said to them, “Be careful! Don’t let anyone fool you. ⁶ Many people will come and use my name. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah, ^{[ a ]} ’ and they will fool many people. ⁷ You will hear about wars that are being fought. And you will hear stories about other wars beginning. But don’t be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes. ⁸ Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. There will be times when there is no food for people to eat. And there will be earthquakes in different places. These things are only the beginning of troubles, like the first pains of a woman giving birth.

⁹ “You must be careful! There are people who will arrest you and take you to be judged for being my followers. They will beat you in their synagogues. You will be forced to stand before kings and governors. You will tell them about me. ¹⁰ Before the end comes, the Good News must be told to all nations. ¹¹ Even when you are arrested and put on trial, don’t worry about what you will say. Say whatever God tells you at the time. It will not really be you speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit.

¹² “Brothers will turn against their own brothers and hand them over to be killed. Fathers will hand over their own children to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and have them killed. ¹³ All people will hate you because you follow me. But those who remain faithful to the end will be saved.

¹⁴ “You will see ‘the terrible thing that causes destruction.’ ^{[ b ]} You will see this thing standing in the place where it should not be.” (Reader, I trust you understand what this means.) “Everyone in Judea at that time should run away to the mountains. ¹⁵ They should run away without wasting time to stop for anything. If someone is on the roof of their house, they must not go down to take things out of the house. ¹⁶ If someone is in the field, they must not go back to get a coat.

¹⁷ “During that time it will be hard for women who are pregnant or have small babies. ¹⁸ Pray that these things will not happen in winter, ¹⁹ because those days will be full of trouble. There will be more trouble than has ever happened since the beginning, when God made the world. And nothing that bad will ever happen again. ²⁰ But the Lord has decided to make that terrible time short. If it were not made short, no one could survive. But the Lord will make that time short to help the special people he has chosen.

²¹ “Someone might say to you at that time, ‘Look, there is the Messiah!’ Or another person might say, ‘There he is!’ But don’t believe them. ²² False messiahs and false prophets will come and do miracles and wonders, ^{[ c ]} trying to fool the people God has chosen, if that is possible. ²³ So be careful. Now I have warned you about all this before it happens.

When Jesus, the Son of Man, Comes Again ^{( B )}

²⁴ “During the days following that time of trouble,

‘The sun will become dark,
and the moon will not give light.
²⁵ The stars will fall from the sky,
and everything in the sky will be changed.’ ^{[ d ]}

²⁶ “Then people will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ He will send his angels all around the earth. They will gather his chosen people from every part of the earth.

²⁸ “The fig tree teaches us a lesson: When its branches become green and soft, and new leaves begin to grow, then you know that summer is very near. ²⁹ In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that the time ^{[ e ]} is very near, already present. ³⁰ I assure you that all these things will happen while some of the people of this time are still living. ³¹ The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my words will last forever.

³² “No one knows when that day or time will be. The Son and the angels in heaven don’t know when that day or time will be. Only the Father knows. ³³ Be careful! Always be ready. You don’t know when that time will be.

³⁴ “It’s like a man who goes on a trip and leaves his house in the care of his servants. He gives each one a special job to do. He tells the servant guarding the door to always be ready. And this is what I am telling you now. ³⁵ You must always be ready. You don’t know when the owner of the house will come back. He might come in the afternoon, or at midnight, or in the early morning, or when the sun rises. ³⁶ If you are always ready, he will not find you sleeping, even if he comes back earlier than expected. ³⁷ I tell you this, and I say it to everyone: ‘Be ready!’”

⁹ But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them. ¹⁰ And the ^{[ b ]} gospel must first be preached unto all the nations. ¹¹ And when they lead you to judgment , and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. ¹² And brother shall ^{[ c ]} deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and ^{[ d ]} cause them to be put to death. ¹³ And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁴ But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: ¹⁵ and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: ¹⁶ and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. ¹⁷ But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! ¹⁸ And pray ye that it be not in the winter. ¹⁹ For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be. ²⁰ And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. ²¹ And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe ^{[ e ]} it not: ²² for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect. ²³ But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

²⁴ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, ²⁵ and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken. ²⁶ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

²⁸ Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; ²⁹ even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that ^{[ f ]} he is nigh, even at the doors. ³⁰ Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. ³¹ Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. ³² But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

³³ Take ye heed, watch ^{[ g ]} and pray: for ye know not when the time is. ³⁴ It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his ^{[ h ]} servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch. ³⁵ Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning; ³⁶ lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

13 As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”

² Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”

³ As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, ⁴ “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”

⁵ Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. ⁶ For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ ^{[ a ]} and will lead many astray.

⁷ “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet. ⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains. ⁹ But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. ¹⁰ The Good News must first be preached to all the nations. ¹¹ When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

¹² “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. ¹³ You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. ¹⁴ But when you see the abomination of desolation, Daniel 9:17 ; 11:31 ; 12:11 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, ¹⁵ and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house. ¹⁶ Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak. ¹⁷ But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days! ¹⁸ Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter. ¹⁹ For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be. ²⁰ Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days. ²¹ Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it. ²² For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. ²³ But you watch.

“Behold, I have told you all things beforehand. ²⁴ But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, ²⁵ the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. Isaiah 13:10 ; 34:4 ²⁶ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.

²⁸ “Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near; ²⁹ even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors. ³⁰ Most certainly I say to you, this generation ^{[ b ]} will not pass away until all these things happen. ³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. ³² But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. ³³ Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.

³⁴ “It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch. ³⁵ Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning; ³⁶ lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping. ³⁷ What I tell you, I tell all: Watch.”

13:6 or, “I AM!”
13:30 The word translated “generation” (genea) could also be translated “race”, “family”, or “people”.

13 And as he is going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, `Teacher, see! what stones! and what buildings!'

² and Jesus answering said to him, `Seest thou these great buildings? there may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may not be thrown down.'

³ And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself,

⁴ `Tell us when these things shall be? and what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?'

⁵ And Jesus answering them, began to say, `Take heed lest any one may lead you astray,

⁶ for many shall come in my name, saying -- I am [he], and many they shall lead astray;

⁷ and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end [is] not yet;

⁸ for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; beginnings of sorrows [are] these.

⁹ `And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;

¹⁰ and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed.

¹¹ `And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

¹² `And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,

¹³ and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end -- he shall be saved.

¹⁴ `And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

¹⁵ and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;

¹⁶ and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

¹⁷ `And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;

¹⁸ and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter,

¹⁹ for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;

²⁰ and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.

²¹ `And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;

²² for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;

²³ and ye, take heed; lo, I have foretold you all things.

²⁴ `But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

²⁵ and the stars of the heaven shall be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.

²⁶ `And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,

²⁷ and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.

²⁸ `And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer;

²⁹ so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors.

³⁰ Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;

³¹ the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³² `And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son -- except the Father.

³³ Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;

³⁴ as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

³⁵ watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning;

³⁶ lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;

³⁷ and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.'

13 And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here.

² And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.

³ And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:

⁴ Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?

⁵ And Jesus answering, began to say to them, Take heed lest any man deceive you.

⁶ For many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and they shall deceive many.

⁷ And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be, but the end is not yet.

⁸ For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.

⁹ But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁰ And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.

¹¹ And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

¹² And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against the parents, and shall work their death.

¹³ And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.

¹⁴ And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not: he that readeth let him understand: then let them that are in Judea, flee unto the mountains:

¹⁵ And let him that is on the housetop, not go down into the house, nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house:

¹⁶ And let him that shall be in the field, not turn back to take up his garment.

¹⁷ And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.

¹⁸ But pray ye, that these things happen not in winter.

¹⁹ For in those days shall be such tribulations, as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be.

²⁰ And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

²¹ And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; lo, he is here: do not believe.

²² For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect.

²³ Take you heed therefore; behold I have foretold you all things.

²⁴ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light.

²⁵ And the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven, shall be moved.

²⁶ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.

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.

²⁸ Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near.

²⁹ So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors.

³⁰ Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, until all these things be done.

³¹ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.

³² But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

³³ Take ye heed, watch and pray. For ye know not when the time is.

³⁴ Even as a man who going into a far country, left his house; and gave authority to his servants over every work, and commanded the porter to watch.

³⁵ Watch ye therefore, (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh: at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning,)

³⁶ Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.

³⁷ And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.

The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. The end of the world; the day and the hour is unknown.

13 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings are here! ² And Jesus answered and said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.

³ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, ⁴ Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?

⁵ And Jesus answered them and began, saying, Take heed, lest anyone deceive you. ⁶ For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ, and will deceive many.

⁷ When you hear of war and reports of war, do not be troubled. For such things must be. But the end is not yet. ⁸ For nation will arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in all quarters, and famines and troubles. These are the beginning of sorrows.

⁹ But take heed to yourselves. For they will bring you up before the councils and into the synagogues, and you will be beaten; yea, and will be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. ¹⁰ And the gospel must first be preached among all nations. ¹¹ But when they lead you and present you, do not be anxious about what you will say, nor prepare ahead. But whatever is given you at that same time, that speak. For it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

¹² Yea and brother will deliver brother to death, and the father the son; and the children will rise against their fathers and mothers, and will put them to death. ¹³ And you will be hated by all men for my name’s sake. But whosoever endures to the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁴ Moreover, when you see the abomination that betokens desolation, of which Daniel the prophet has spoken, standing where it ought not, let him who reads, understand. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. ¹⁵ And let him who is on the housetop not descend down into the house, neither enter in to fetch anything out of his house. ¹⁶ And let him who is in the field not turn back again to those things that he left behind him, to take his clothes with him. ¹⁷ Woe shall be then to women that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. ¹⁸ But pray that your flight be not in the winter. ¹⁹ For there shall be in those days such tribulation as was not from the beginning of creatures that God created to this time, nor will be again. ²⁰ And if the Lord did not shorten those days, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened those days.

²¹ And then if anyone says to you, Lo, here is Christ! Lo, he is there! – believe it not. ²² For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and they will show miracles and wonders, to deceive if it were possible even the elect. ²³ But take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

²⁴ Moreover in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will grow dark, and the moon will not give her light, ²⁵ and the stars of heaven will fall; and the powers which are in heaven shall move. ²⁶ And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ And then he will send his angels, and will gather together his elect from the four winds, and from one end of the world to the other.

²⁸ Learn from a similitude of the fig tree. When its branches are yet tender and it has brought forth leaves, you know that summer is near. ²⁹ So also in like manner, when you see these things come to pass, understand that it is near, even at the doors. ³⁰ Truly I say to you that this generation will not pass till all these things be done.

³¹ Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words will not pass. ³² But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son himself, but the Father only. ³³ Take heed. Watch and pray, for you know not when the time is. ³⁴ It is as a man who has gone into a far country, and has left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each his work, and instructed the porter to watch.

³⁵ Watch therefore. For you know not when the master of the house will come – whether at evening or midnight, whether at the cock-crowing or in the dawning – ³⁶ lest, if he come suddenly, he should find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!
