Mark 13:12-22

12 But 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.
13 And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.
14 But 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;
15 and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter [into it] to take away anything out of his house;
16 and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
17 But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18 And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19 for 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;
20 and 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.
21 And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Footnotes 4

  • [a]. Though the word means 'to kill,' yet not necessarily personally; it means to bring it about, judicially, for instance, so I have put 'cause.'
  • [b]. 'Desolation' is an active word, 'causing desolation,' 'desolating,' not an accomplished state: see Matt. 24.15; Dan. 9.27.
  • [c]. 'Weigh with intelligence so as to understand,' 'perceive:' see ch. 8.17, 'perceive,' and Rom. 1.20.
  • [d]. Without the article, 'Jehovah.'
