Mark 13:1–10

Questions from the Disciples

Matt. 24:1–3; Luke 21:5–7

13Then ^aas He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!”

²And Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? ^bNot one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

³Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, ^cPeter, ^dJames, ^eJohn, and ^fAndrew asked Him privately, ^4g“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

The Tribulation

Matt. 24:4–26; Luke 21:8–24

⁵And Jesus, answering them, began to say: ^h“Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁶For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. ⁷But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. ⁸For nation will rise against nation, and ⁱkingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines ¹and troubles. ^jThese are the beginnings of ²sorrows.

⁹“But ^kwatch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will ³be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. ¹⁰And ^lthe gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
