Godbey - Mark - 13

13:1  And He departing out from the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, Teacher, behold, how great stones and how great buildings!

13:2  And Jesus responding said to him, Do you see these great buildings? stone may not be left upon stone, which may not be thrown down.

13:3  And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives in front of the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately,

13:4  Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign when all these things may be about to have an end?

13:5  And Jesus began to say to them, See, lest any one may deceive you.

13:6  For many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. I

13:7  And when you may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not disturbed: for it behooves it to be so; but the end is not yet.

13:8  For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earth-quakes in divers places; and there shall be famines.

13:9  These are the beginnings of travails. But you take heed to yourselves: for they will deliver you into councils; and will beat you in the synagogues: and you shall stand before governors and kings on account of me, for a testimony unto them.

13:10  And it behooves the gospel first to be preached to all the nations.

13:11  And when they may lead you forth, delivering you up, do not be solicitous what you may speak, nor meditate: but whatsoever may be given to you in that hour, speak this: for you are not those speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

13:12  And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and the children will rise up against the parents, and put them to death.

13:13  And you shall be hated by all on account of my name: but the one persevering to the end, the same shall be saved.

13:14  And when you may see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let him that readeth know), then let those in Judea fly to the mountains:

13:15  and let not the one on the housetop come down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house:

13:16  and let not the one who is in the field turn back to take his garment.

13:17  But alas unto those who are in gestation and nursing in those days.

13:18  But pray that your flight may not be in the winter.

13:19  For these days will be tribulation, such as has never been from the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never may be.

13:20  And unless the Lord shortened those days, no flesh would be saved: but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

13:21  And if then one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, Lo, there; believe not.

13:22  For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders, to deceive even the elect, if possible.

13:23  But you see: behold, I have foretold you all things.

13:24  And in those days, after that desolation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light,

13:25  and the stars of heaven will be falling, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken.

13:26  And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

13:27  And then He will send forth His angels, and will gather His elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth unto the extremity of heaven.

13:28  But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when her branches may be now tender, and she may grow out leaves, know that the summer is nigh.

13:29  So you also, when you may see these things take place, know that it is already at the doors.

13:30  Truly I say unto you, this race may not pass away, until all these things may be fulfilled.

13:31  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

13:32  But concerning that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.

13:33  Beware, watch; for you know not when the time is.

13:34  As a man, going away, leaving his own house, and giving authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and commanded the porter that he should watch.

13:35  Watch therefore: for you know not when the Lord of the house cometh, late, or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock, or in the morning;

13:36  lest having come suddenly he may find you sleeping.

13:37  And the things I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
