Mark 13:5-13

English Standard Version

⁵ And Jesus began to say to them, ^(A)“See that no one leads you astray. ^6 (B)Many will come in my name, saying, ^(C)‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. ⁷ And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, ^(D)do not be alarmed. This ^(E)must take place, but the end is not yet. ⁸ For ^(F)nation will rise against nation, and ^(G)kingdom against kingdom. There will be ^(H)earthquakes in various places; there will be ^(I)famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

^9 (J)“But ^(K)be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten ^(L)in synagogues, and you will stand before ^(M)governors and ^(N)kings for my sake, ^(O)to bear witness before them. ¹⁰ And the gospel must first be proclaimed ^(P)to all nations. ¹¹ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, ^(Q)do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say ^(R)whatever is given you in that hour, ^(S)for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. ^12 (T)And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. ^13 (U)And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. ^(V)But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
