この世の終わり
13 イエスが宮から出ようとしておられた時、弟子の一人が言いました。「先生。これはまあ、なんと美しい建物でしょう。なんと見事な石でしょう。」
2 すると、イエスはお答えになりました。「なるほどすばらしいものです。しかし、この建物も、たった一つの石さえほかの石の上に残らないほど、あとかたもなくくずれ落ちてしまうのです。」
3-4 イエスがオリーブ山で、宮のほうを向いて座っておられると、ペテロ、ヤコブ、ヨハネ、アンデレがこっそりイエスに尋ねました。「いったいいつ、神殿にそんなことが起こるのですか。そうなる前に、何か前兆でもあるのでしょうか。」
5 そこで、イエスはゆっくり話し始められました。「だれにもだまされてはいけません。 6 自分こそキリストだと名乗る者が大ぜい現れて、多くの人を惑わすからです。 7 また、あちこちで戦争が始まるでしょう。けれども、まだ終わりが来たわけではありません。 8 民族は民族に、国は国に敵対して立ち上がり、至る所で地震やききんが起こります。しかしこれらはみな、やがて襲って来る苦しみの、ほんの始まりにすぎないのです。
9 しかし、これらのことが起こり始めたら、よく警戒しなさい。非常な危険が迫っているからです。あなたがたは法廷に引き出され、会堂でむち打ちの刑を受け、また、わたしに従う者だというだけで、総督や王たちの前で訴えられるでしょう。しかしその時こそ、神をあかしするチャンスです。 10 終わりの時が来る前に、福音が世界中の人々に伝えられなければなりません。 11 逮捕されても、取り調べの時、どう釈明しようかと心配することはありません。ただその時、神があなたがたに語ってくださることだけを話せばいいのです。話をするのはあなたがたではなく、聖霊です。
12 兄弟同士が殺し合うかと思えば、親までが子を裏切り、子もまた親に反逆し、殺します。 13 そしてあなたがたは、わたしの弟子であるというだけで、すべての人に憎まれます。しかし終わりまで、わたしへの信仰を捨てずに耐え忍ぶ者はみな救われます。
14 恐るべきもの（ダニエル9・27、11・31）が神殿に立つのを見たら〔読者よ、よく考えなさい〕、ユダヤにいる人たちは、山へ逃げなさい。 15-16 急ぐのです。もしその時、屋上にいたら、家の中に戻ってはいけません。畑にいたら、お金や着物を取りに帰ってはいけません。 17 このような日に妊娠している女と乳飲み子をかかえている母親は、ほんとうに不幸です。 18 また、あなたがたの逃げるのが、冬にならないように祈りなさい。 19 それは、神が天地を創造された初めから今に至るまで、いまだかつてなかったような恐るべき日だからです。 20 主が、このわざわいの期間を短くしてくださらないかぎり、地上には、一人も生き残れないでしょう。しかし、神に選ばれた人たちのために、その期間は短くされるのです。
21 その時だれかが、『この方がキリストだ』とか『いや、あの方がそうだ』とか言っても、気をとられてはいけません。 22 偽キリストや偽預言者が次々に現れて、不思議な奇跡を行い、神に選ばれた者たちをさえ惑わそうとするからです。 23 気をつけていなさい。警告しておきます。
24 この苦難の時に続いて、太陽は暗くなり、月は光を失い、 25 星は落ち、宇宙に異変が起こります。
26 その時すべての人が、メシヤのわたしが大きな力と栄光とを帯びて、雲に乗って来るのを見るでしょう。 27 わたしは天使たちを遣わし、世界中から、まさに天と地の果てから、選ばれた者たちを呼び集めるのです。
28 さて、いちじくの木から教訓を学びなさい。いちじくの葉が出てくれば、夏は間近です。 29 同じように、いま言ったようなことが起これば、わたしはもう戸口まで来ているのです。
30 そうです。これが、この時代の終わりの前兆なのです。 31 天地は消え去りますが、わたしのことばは永遠に残ります。
32 しかしだれも、天の使いも、わたし自身でさえも、その日、その時がいつかは知りません。ただ、父なる神だけが知っておられます。 33 だから、いつ終わりが来ても困らないように、わたしの帰りを目を覚まして待っていなさい。
34 こう言えば、もっとはっきりわかるでしょう。ちょうど、外国旅行に出かける人が、使用人たちに留守中の仕事の手配をし、門番には、主人の帰りを見張っているようにと命じて出かけるのと同じです。 35 だから、しっかり目を覚ましていなさい。いつわたしが帰って来るか、夕方か、夜中か、明け方か、それともすっかり明るくなってからか、わからないのですから。 36 不意をつかれて、居眠りしているところを見られないようにしなさい。 37 あなたがただけでなく、すべての人にも念を押しておきます。わたしの帰りを、抜かりなく見張っていなさい。」
馬可福音 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
預言聖殿被毀
13 耶穌走出聖殿的時候，有一個門徒對祂說：「老師，你看！這是多麼大的石頭，多麼宏偉的建築啊！」
2 耶穌說：「你看見這宏偉的建築了嗎？將來它要被完全拆毀，找不到兩塊疊在一起的石頭。」
3 耶穌面向聖殿坐在橄欖山上，彼得、雅各、約翰和安得烈私下來問祂： 4 「請告訴我們，這些事什麼時候會發生？有什麼預兆？」
5 耶穌對他們說：「你們要小心，免得被人迷惑。 6 將有很多人冒我的名來，說，『我是基督』，欺騙許多人。
7 「你們聽見戰爭爆發、戰訊頻傳時，不要驚慌，因為這些事必然發生，只是末日還沒有到。
8 「民族將與民族互鬥，國家將與國家相爭，各處將有地震和饑荒。這些只是災難[a]的開始。
9 「你們要小心，因為你們將被送上法庭，將在會堂裡受鞭打，又將為了我的緣故在官長和君王面前做見證。 10 不過，福音一定要先傳遍天下。 11 你們被拘捕，受審訊的時候，不用預先考慮怎樣辯解，到時候賜給你們什麼話，你們就說什麼話，因為那時候說話的不是你們自己，而是聖靈。
12 「那時，人必把自己的弟兄置於死地，父親必把兒子置於死地，兒女必反叛父母，置他們於死地。 13 你們將為我的名而被眾人憎恨，但堅忍到底的必定得救。
大災難
14 「當你們看見『那帶來毀滅的可憎之物』站在不當站的地方時（讀者須會意），住在猶太地區的人要逃到山上去； 15 在屋頂上的人不要下來，不要進房屋收拾行李； 16 在田間的人不要回家取外衣。 17 那時，孕婦和哺育嬰兒的母親們可就遭殃了！ 18 你們要祈求上帝使這些事不要在冬天發生， 19 因為那是上帝創造天地以來空前絕後的大災難。 20 如果主不縮短災期，恐怕沒有人能活命，但為了祂所揀選的子民，祂已經縮短災期。 21 那時，如果有人對你們說，『看啊！基督在這裡』，或說，『基督在那裡』，你們不要相信。 22 因為假基督和假先知將出現，行各種神蹟奇事，如果可能，甚至會迷惑上帝揀選的子民。 23 你們要小心，我已經把一切預先告訴你們了。
人子降臨
24 「大災難過後，
太陽昏暗，
月亮無光，
25 星宿隕落，
天體震動。
26 那時，世人必看到人子駕著雲、帶著極大的能力和榮耀降臨。 27 祂必差遣天使從四面八方、天涯海角招聚祂揀選的人。
28 「你們可以從無花果樹學個道理。當無花果樹發芽長葉的時候，你們就知道夏天快來了。 29 同樣，當你們看見這些事情發生時，就知道人子快來了，就在門口。 30 我實在告訴你們，這個世代還沒有過去，這一切都要發生。 31 天地都要過去，我的話卻永遠長存。
32 「但沒有人知道那日子和時辰何時來到，連天上的天使和人子都不知道，只有天父知道。 33 你們要小心，警醒禱告，因為你們不知道那日子何時來到。
34 「這就好像一個人在出遠門之前，把家中的事交給僕人，讓他們各做各的工作，又吩咐守門的人要警醒。 35 所以你們要警醒，因為你們不知道主人什麼時候回來，可能是黃昏，可能是夜半，也可能是黎明或早上。 36 別讓他突然回來時看到你們在睡覺。 37 我勸你們也勸所有的人，要警醒！」

Mark 13
King James Version
13 And 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!
2 And 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.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But 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 Now 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.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19 For 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.
20 And 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.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And 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 learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For 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.
35 Watch 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:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark 13
New Catholic Bible
When Will the End Come?[a]
Chapter 13
Jesus Announces the Destruction of the Temple.[b] 1 As Jesus was making his departure from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at the size of these stones and buildings!” 2 Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not a single stone will be left upon another; every one will be thrown down.”
The End Has Not Yet Come.[c] 3 As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives directly across from the temple, Peter,[d] James, John, and Andrew questioned him when they were alone. 4 “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign that all those things are about to be accomplished?”
5 Jesus began to say to them, “Take care that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed, for those things are bound to happen, but the end is still to come. 8 For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famine. These are only the beginning of the labor pangs.
The Coming Persecution.[e] 9 “Be on your guard. For they will hand you over to courts and beat you in synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of me to testify before them. 10 But first the gospel must be preached to all nations.
11 “When they arrest you and bring you to trial, do not be concerned beforehand about what you are to say. Simply say whatever is given to you when that time comes, for it will not be you who speak but the Holy Spirit.
12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 13 You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever stands firm to the end will be saved.
14 The Great Trial.“Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation[f] standing where it does not belong (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, 15 the one who is standing on the roof must not come down or go inside to take anything out of the house, 16 and someone who is in the field must not turn back to retrieve his coat.
17 “Woe to those who are pregnant and those who are nursing infants in those days. 18 Pray that all this may not occur in winter. 19 For in those days there will be such suffering as has not been since the beginning of the creation that God made until now and will never be again. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect whom he chose, he did cut short those days.
21 False Messiahs and False Prophets.[g]“Therefore, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders to lead astray God’s chosen ones, if that were possible. 23 Be on your guard! I have forewarned you about everything.
24 The Coming of the Son of Man.[h]“But in those days, following that distress,
the sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give forth its light,
25 and the stars will be falling from the sky,
and the heavenly powers will be shaken.
26 Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory. 27 And he will send forth his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.
28 The Parable of the Fig Tree.[i]“Learn this lesson from the fig tree. As soon as its twigs become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 29 In the same way, when you see these things come to pass, know that he is near, at the very gates. 30 Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things have taken place.[j] 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
32 The Day and Hour Unknown.[k]“But as for that day or that hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on your guard and keep alert, because you do not know when the time will come.
34 “It is like a man going on a journey. He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his own duties to perform, and he commands the doorkeeper to remain alert. 35 Therefore, keep watch, for you do not know when the master of the house will return, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, 36 lest he arrive unexpectedly and find you asleep. 37 What I say to you, I say to all: Keep awake!”
Footnotes
- Mark 13:1 For over two centuries the Jewish world had been familiar with these strange visions that were meant to explain in advance the events that would occur at the end of the world. The series of pictures describes the unfolding of a catastrophe. These literary pieces were known as “apocalypses,” that is, revelations (see Isa 24–27; Ezek 34–36; Dan 7–12; Zec 14:1-20; etc.).
In the present discourse, the longest in Mark’s Gospel, Jesus, too, speaks of the final destiny of the human race and borrows from the Jewish apocalypses the somewhat terrifying images that became part of the literary genre of apocalypse as found in the first three Gospels. The discourse is therefore known as “the Synoptic apocalypse.” And because it bids us reflect on the ultimate lot of humankind and the world, it is also known as the “eschatological discourse,” that is, a discourse about the end. - Mark 13:1 See note on Mt 24:1-2.
- Mark 13:3 See note on Mt 24:3-14.
- Mark 13:3 Peter: the disciples named were the first to be called (see Mk 1:16-20). In Mark, all of Jesus’ teaching is given privately to these four disciples.
- Mark 13:9 See note on Mt 24:15-22.
- Mark 13:14 The abomination of desolation refers, in Dan 11:31; 12:11, and 1 Mac 1:54; 6:7, to the statue of the pagan emperor that was set up in the temple as a symbol of his divinity. Jesus is thus foretelling that this scandalous event will be repeated.
- Mark 13:21 False messiahs who try to lead Christians astray can be resisted by clinging to revealed Truth taught by Christ’s Church.
- Mark 13:24 The discourse now takes on clearly cosmic proportions. The upheaval in the elements is described in the customary expressions derived from apocalyptic language. However, the whole passage is centered upon the glorious appearance of the Messiah in his Second Coming. The emphasis is on the joy of the elect at the coming of the Son of Man rather than on their terror over the destruction of the world. See note on Mt 24:29-31.
- Mark 13:28 See note on Mt 23:32-35.
- Mark 13:30 It was typical of apocalypses that they announced events as if they had to do with the present generation. It was a way of involving the reader, of saying: “This passage has to do with you.”
- Mark 13:32 See note on Mt 24:36-42.
