Mark 13:1-10

Things to Come

1 ¹As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

2 And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? ²Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down."

3 As He was sitting on ³the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, ⁴Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately *,

4 "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?"

5 And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.

6 "Many will come in My name, saying, '⁵I am He!' and will mislead many.

7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

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 merely the beginning of birth pangs.

9 "But be on your guard; for they will ⁶deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged ⁷in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.

10 "⁸The gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
