Mark 13:1–20

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.

²And 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.

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

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

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

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

⁷And 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.

⁸For 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.

⁹But 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.

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

¹¹And 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.

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

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

¹⁴And 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.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰And 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.
