Mark 13:1–10

Destruction of the Temple Predicted

13As ^tHe was going out of the temple complex, ^uone of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, ^vlook! What massive stones! What impressive buildings!” ^w

²Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? ^xNot one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down!”

Signs of the End of the Age

³While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives ^yacross from the temple complex, ^zPeter, ^aJames, ^bJohn, ^cand Andrew ^dasked Him privately, ⁴“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to take place?”

⁵Then Jesus began by telling them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. ⁶Many will come in My name, ^esaying, ‘I am He,’ ^fand they will deceive ^gmany. ⁷When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, ^hdon’t be alarmed; ⁱthese things must take place, ^jbut the end is not yet. ⁸For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. ^kThere will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. ^lThese are the beginning ^mof birth pains. ⁿ

⁹“But you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to sanhedrins, ^opand you will be flogged ^qin the ^•synagogues. ^rYou will stand before governors and kings ^sbecause of Me, ^tas a witness ^uto them. ^v10And the good news ^wxmust first be proclaimed to all nations.
