Mark 13 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Mar 13:1And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!
Mar 13:2And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.
Mar 13:3And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Mar 13:4Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
Mar 13:5And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
Mar 13:6For many shall come in my name, saying, It is *I*, and shall mislead many.
Mar 13:7But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
Mar 13:8For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in different places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things are the beginnings of throes.
Mar 13:9But *ye*, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them;
Mar 13:10and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
Mar 13:11But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, nor prepare your discourse: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for *ye* are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit.
Mar 13:12But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Mar 13:13And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.
Mar 13:14But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider it,) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;
Mar 13:15and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter into it to take away anything out of his house;
Mar 13:16and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
Mar 13:17But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
Mar 13:18And pray that it may not be in winter time;
Mar 13:19for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be;
Mar 13:20and if the Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.
Mar 13:21And then if any one say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or Lo, there, believe it not.
Mar 13:22For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Mar 13:23But do *ye* take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

The Return of Christ

Mar 13:24But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;
Mar 13:25and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;
Mar 13:26and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
Mar 13:27and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
Mar 13:28But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
Mar 13:29Thus also *ye*, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.
Mar 13:30Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
Mar 13:31The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
Mar 13:32But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
Mar 13:33Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
Mar 13:34it is as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
Mar 13:35Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;
Mar 13:36lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
