Marco 13
La Bibbia della Gioia
Gesù parla del futuro
13 Quel giorno, mentre Gesù usciva dal tempio, uno dei suoi discepoli disse: «Maestro, guarda che costruzioni meravigliose! E che decorazioni sulle pareti!»
2 Gesù rispose: «Guarda pure ora, perché non sarà lasciata una sola pietra sullʼaltra, ma soltanto delle rovine!»
3-4 Più tardi, quando si sedette sul Monte degli Ulivi, di fronte al tempio, Pietro, Giacomo, Giovanni e Andrea, in disparte, gli chiesero: «Quandʼè che accadrà tutto questo al tempio? Ci saranno prima degli avvertimenti?»
5 Allora Gesù cominciò a dire ai discepoli: «Non lasciatevi ingannare da nessuno!
6 Perché se ne presenteranno molti che si proclameranno vostro Messia, e ne inganneranno tanti. 7 Quando sentirete parlare di guerre vicine o lontane, non abbiate paura, sono cose che devono accadere, ma non sarà ancora il segnale della fine.
8 Nazioni e regni si dichiareranno guerra lʼuno contro lʼaltro; e ci saranno terremoti e carestie in molti paesi. Queste cose annunceranno soltanto gli inizi dei dolori. 9 Ma quando cominceranno ad accadere, fate attenzione, perché sarete in grave pericolo! Sarete trascinati davanti ai tribunali e picchiati nelle sinagoghe. Per causa mia, sarete accusati davanti ai re e ai governatori. Avrete così lʼoccasione di parlar loro del Vangelo, 10 la Buona Notizia che devʼessere divulgata su tutta la terra prima che vengano i giorni della fine.
11 E quando verrete arrestati e processati, non preoccupatevi di ciò che direte in vostra difesa. Dite soltanto ciò che Dio vi suggerirà in quel momento. Non sarete voi a parlare, ma lo Spirito Santo.
12 Il fratello tradirà a morte il proprio fratello, i padri tradiranno i propri figli, e i figli si ribelleranno ai genitori e li faranno morire. 13 E tutti vi odieranno perché siete miei. Ma tutti quelli che resisteranno fino alla fine senza rinnegarmi saranno salvati.
14 Quando vedrete la “cosa orribile” compiuta nel luogo ove mai dovrebbe accadere, (chi legge, cerchi di capire!) allora quelli che sono in Giudea scappino sui monti. 15-16 E in fretta! Se vi trovate sulla terrazza, non scendete più in casa per prendere qualcosa. Se siete fuori nei campi, non tornate indietro, nemmeno per prendere denaro o vestiti!
17 Guai alle donne incinte in quei giorni, e alle madri che allattano i figli! 18 E pregate che la vostra fuga non avvenga dʼinverno, 19 perché quelli saranno giorni di tale orrore, come non ce ne sono mai stati fin dallʼinizio della creazione, né mai più ce ne saranno! 20 E se il Signore non abbreviasse quel periodo di sciagure, nessuno sopravviverebbe. Ma per amore dei suoi prescelti Dio ha accorciato il numero di quei giorni.
21 E allora, se qualcuno vi dice: “Il Messia è questo qui!” oppure: “No, è quello là!” Voi non fidatevi!
22 Perché si presenteranno molti falsi cristi e falsi profeti che compiranno miracoli meravigliosi per ingannare, se fosse possibile, perfino i figli di Dio. 23 State attenti! Vi ho avvertito!
24 Dopo la fine delle tribolazioni “il sole si oscurerà e la luna non risplenderà più, 25 le stelle cadranno dal cielo e le potenze dei cieli saranno sconvolte”.
26 Allora tutta lʼumanità vedrà me, il Messia, venire nelle nuvole con grande potenza e gloria. 27 Ed io manderò i miei angeli in tutte le direzioni a radunare i miei prescelti, dai più lontani confini della terra e del cielo.
28 Ora, ecco una lezione da imparare dallʼalbero del fico. Quando i suoi rami si fanno teneri e spuntano le prime foglie, voi sapete che lʼestate è vicina. 29 Allo stesso modo, quando vedrete accadere queste cose di cui vi ho parlato, potrete essere certi che il mio ritorno è vicinissimo, proprio alle porte.
30 Sì, questi sono gli eventi che segneranno la fine di questa generazione. 31 Il cielo e la terra scompariranno, ma le mie parole resteranno per sempre.
32 Tuttavia, nessuno sa quando verrà quel giorno e quellʼora, non lo sanno gli angeli del cielo, e neppure io, soltanto Dio Padre lo sa. 33 E poiché non sapete quando sarà il momento, state allʼerta (pronti per il mio ritorno).
34 Il mio arrivo può essere paragonato a quello di un uomo partito per un viaggio in un altro paese. Ai suoi dipendenti ha affidato del lavoro da svolgere mentre è lontano, e ha detto al custode di stare pronto per il suo ritorno.
35-37 Ebbene, tenete gli occhi bene aperti, perché non sapete quando verrò: se di sera, a mezzanotte, alle prime ore dellʼalba o a mattina inoltrata. Che non vi trovi addormentati! Siate pronti per il mio ritorno! Questo è ciò che raccomando a voi e a tutti gli altri».

13 και εκπορευομενου αυτου εκ του ιερου λεγει αυτω εις των μαθητων αυτου διδασκαλε ιδε ποταποι λιθοι και ποταπαι οικοδομαι
2 και ο ιησους αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτω βλεπεις ταυτας τας μεγαλας οικοδομας ου μη αφεθη λιθος επι λιθω ος ου μη καταλυθη
3 και καθημενου αυτου εις το ορος των ελαιων κατεναντι του ιερου επηρωτων αυτον κατ ιδιαν πετρος και ιακωβος και ιωαννης και ανδρεας
4 ειπε ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη παντα ταυτα συντελεισθαι
5 ο δε ιησους αποκριθεις αυτοις ηρξατο λεγειν βλεπετε μη τις υμας πλανηση
6 πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες οτι εγω ειμι και πολλους πλανησουσιν
7 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακοας πολεμων μη θροεισθε δει γαρ γενεσθαι αλλ ουπω το τελος
8 εγερθησεται γαρ εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν και εσονται σεισμοι κατα τοπους και εσονται λιμοι και ταραχαι αρχαι ωδινων ταυτα
9 βλεπετε δε υμεις εαυτους παραδωσουσιν γαρ υμας εις συνεδρια και εις συναγωγας δαρησεσθε και επι ηγεμονων και βασιλεων αχθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εις μαρτυριον αυτοις
10 και εις παντα τα εθνη δει πρωτον κηρυχθηναι το ευαγγελιον
11 οταν δε αγαγωσιν υμας παραδιδοντες μη προμεριμνατε τι λαλησητε μηδε μελετατε αλλ ο εαν δοθη υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τουτο λαλειτε ου γαρ εστε υμεις οι λαλουντες αλλα το πνευμα το αγιον
12 παραδωσει δε αδελφος αδελφον εις θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεις και θανατωσουσιν αυτους
13 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
14 οταν δε ιδητε το βδελυγμα της ερημωσεως το ρηθεν υπο δανιηλ του προφητου εστως οπου ου δει ο αναγινωσκων νοειτω τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εις τα ορη
15 ο δε επι του δωματος μη καταβατω εις την οικιαν μηδε εισελθετω αραι τι εκ της οικιας αυτου
16 και ο εις τον αγρον ων μη επιστρεψατω εις τα οπισω αραι το ιματιον αυτου
17 ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις
18 προσευχεσθε δε ινα μη γενηται η φυγη υμων χειμωνος
19 εσονται γαρ αι ημεραι εκειναι θλιψις οια ου γεγονεν τοιαυτη απ αρχης κτισεως ης εκτισεν ο θεος εως του νυν και ου μη γενηται
20 και ει μη κυριος εκολοβωσεν τας ημερας ουκ αν εσωθη πασα σαρξ αλλα δια τους εκλεκτους ους εξελεξατο εκολοβωσεν τας ημερας
21 και τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη ιδου ωδε ο χριστος η ιδου εκει μη πιστευσητε
22 εγερθησονται γαρ ψευδοχριστοι και ψευδοπροφηται και δωσουσιν σημεια και τερατα προς το αποπλαναν ει δυνατον και τους εκλεκτους
23 υμεις δε βλεπετε ιδου προειρηκα υμιν παντα
24 αλλ εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις μετα την θλιψιν εκεινην ο ηλιος σκοτισθησεται και η σεληνη ου δωσει το φεγγος αυτης
25 και οι αστερες του ουρανου εσονται εκπιπτοντες και αι δυναμεις αι εν τοις ουρανοις σαλευθησονται
26 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελαις μετα δυναμεως πολλης και δοξης
27 και τοτε αποστελει τους αγγελους αυτου και επισυναξει τους εκλεκτους αυτου εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων απ ακρου γης εως ακρου ουρανου
28 απο δε της συκης μαθετε την παραβολην οταν αυτης ηδη ο κλαδος απαλος γενηται και εκφυη τα φυλλα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς το θερος εστιν
29 ουτως και υμεις οταν ταυτα ιδητε γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν επι θυραις
30 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη μεχρις ου παντα ταυτα γενηται
31 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
32 περι δε της ημερας εκεινης και της ωρας ουδεις οιδεν ουδε οι αγγελοι οι εν ουρανω ουδε ο υιος ει μη ο πατηρ
33 βλεπετε αγρυπνειτε και προσευχεσθε ουκ οιδατε γαρ ποτε ο καιρος εστιν
34 ως ανθρωπος αποδημος αφεις την οικιαν αυτου και δους τοις δουλοις αυτου την εξουσιαν και εκαστω το εργον αυτου και τω θυρωρω ενετειλατο ινα γρηγορη
35 γρηγορειτε ουν ουκ οιδατε γαρ ποτε ο κυριος της οικιας ερχεται οψε η μεσονυκτιου η αλεκτοροφωνιας η πρωι
36 μη ελθων εξαιφνης ευρη υμας καθευδοντας
37 α δε υμιν λεγω πασιν λεγω γρηγορειτε
Mark 13
New International Version
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)
13 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”
2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”(B)
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives(C) opposite the temple, Peter, James, John(D) and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”
5 Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(E) 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. 7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues.(F) On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.(G)
12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.(H) 13 Everyone will hate you because of me,(I) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(J)
14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a](K) standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(L) 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world,(M) until now—and never to be equaled again.(N)
20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it.(O) 22 For false messiahs and false prophets(P) will appear and perform signs and wonders(Q) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 So be on your guard;(R) I have told you everything ahead of time.
24 “But in those days, following that distress,
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
25 the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[c](S)
26 “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds(T) with great power and glory. 27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.(U)
28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it[d] is near, right at the door. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation(V) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(W) 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(X)
The Day and Hour Unknown
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.(Y) 33 Be on guard! Be alert[e]!(Z) You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants(AA) in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”(AB)
