Mark 13 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Things to Come

Mar 13:1

As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples *said to Him, “Teacher, look! [fn]What wonderful stones and [fn]what wonderful buildings!”

Mar 13:2And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”
Mar 13:3

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, [fn]James, John, and Andrew were questioning Him privately,

Mar 13:4“Tell us, when will these things come about, and what will be the [fn]sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?”
Mar 13:5And Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you.
Mar 13:6“Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and they will mislead many.
Mar 13:7“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.
Mar 13:8“For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are only the beginning of birth pains.
Mar 13:9

“But [fn]be on your guard; for they will hand you over to the [fn]courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.

Mar 13:10“And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
Mar 13:11“And when they [fn]arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you at that time; for you are not the ones speaking, but it is the Holy Spirit.
Mar 13:12“And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and [fn]have them put to death.
Mar 13:13“And you will be hated by everyone because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
Mar 13:14

“Now when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be—[fn]let the [fn]reader understand—then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

Mar 13:15[fn]Whoever is on the [fn]housetop must not go down, nor go in to get anything out of his house.
Mar 13:16“And [fn]whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.
Mar 13:17“But woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
Mar 13:18“Moreover, pray that it will not happen in winter.
Mar 13:19“For those days will be such a time of tribulation as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will again.
Mar 13:20“And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no [fn]life would have been saved; but for the sake of the [fn]elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
Mar 13:21“And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the [fn]Christ’; or, ‘Look, there He is’; do not believe it;
Mar 13:22for false christs and false prophets will arise, and will provide signs and wonders, in order to mislead, if possible, the elect.
Mar 13:23“But beware; I have told you everything in advance.

The Return of Christ

Mar 13:24

“But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,

Mar 13:25AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
Mar 13:26“And then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.
Mar 13:27“And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His [fn]elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.
Mar 13:28

“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.

Mar 13:29“So you too, when you see these things happening, [fn]recognize that [fn]He is near, right at the [fn]door.
Mar 13:30“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
Mar 13:31“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Mar 13:32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
Mar 13:33

“Watch out, stay alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is.

Mar 13:34It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and [fn]putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert.
Mar 13:35“Therefore, stay alert—for you do not know when the [fn]master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning
Mar 13:36so that he does not come suddenly and find you asleep.
Mar 13:37“What I say to you I say to all: ‘Stay alert!’”
