Mark 13, side by side

¹As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”

¹And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

²Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”

²And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

³As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

⁴Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

⁵Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

⁵And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

⁶For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and will lead many astray.

⁶For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

⁸For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.

¹⁰The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.

¹⁰And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

¹¹When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

¹¹But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

¹²“Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

¹²Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

¹³You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

¹⁵and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.

¹⁵And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

¹⁶Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

¹⁶And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

¹⁷But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

¹⁸Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.

¹⁸And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

¹⁹For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

¹⁹For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

²⁰Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.

²⁰And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

²¹Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.

²¹And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

²²For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

²²For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

²⁴But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

²⁵the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

²⁵And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

²⁶Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

²⁷Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.

²⁷And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

²⁸“Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;

²⁸Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

²⁹even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.

²⁹So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

³⁰Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.

³⁰Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

³¹Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³²But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

³²But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

³³Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.

³⁴For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

³⁵Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;

³⁵Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

³⁶lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.

³⁶Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷What I tell you, I tell all: Watch.”

³⁷And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
