King James Reference Version

Mark 13

1 And as he went out of the temple, (Matthew 24:1; Luke 21:5) 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 (Isaiah 19:2; Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:10) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:Isaiah 19:2 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: (Matthew 10:17; Acts 5:40) 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, (Exodus 4:12; Jeremiah 1:7; Matthew 10:19; Luke 12:11) 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 (Micah 7:6; Matthew 10:21; Matthew 10:35; Luke 12:53; Luke 21:16) 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 (Matthew 10:22; Matthew 24:13; Luke 21:17) 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 (Daniel 9:27; Daniel 12:11; Matthew 24:15) of desolation,Daniel 12:11 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, (Daniel 12:1; Joel 2:2; Matthew 24:21) such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time,Daniel 12:1 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. Deut 13:1Deuteronomy 13:1

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. Isa 13:10Isaiah 13:10 Matt 24:29Matthew 24:29 Luke 21:26Luke 21:26

26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the cloudsDaniel 7:13 with great power and glory. Dan 7:13Daniel 7:13 , Matt 24:30Matthew 24:30, Luke 21:27Luke 21:27

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 (Psalms 102:26; Isaiah 51:6; Jeremiah 31:36; Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33; Hebrews 1:11) 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 (Matthew 24:42; Matthew 25:13; Luke 21:36; 1 Corinthians 16:13) 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.
