Mark 13:1-13

The Destruction of the Temple and Signs before the End

13¹ And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what buildings! ² And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned. ³ And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately, ⁴ Say when these things will be, and what will be the sign when these things are all about to be done.

⁵ And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone. ⁶ People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way. ⁷ And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end. ⁸ Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles. ⁹ But take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign to them. ¹⁰ And the good news has first to be given to all the nations. ¹¹ And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit. ¹² And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death. ¹³ And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.
