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!」

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。」

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: 「請告訴我們,這些事什麼時候會發生?有什麼預兆?」

耶穌對他們說:「你們要小心,免得被人迷惑。 將有很多人冒我的名來,說,『我是基督』,欺騙許多人。

「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。

「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。

「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!」

Destruction of the Temple Predicted

13 As(A) he was going out of the temple,(B) one of his disciples said to him, ‘Teacher,(C) look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings! ’(D)

Jesus said to him, ‘Do you see these great buildings?(E) Not one stone will be left upon another – all will be thrown down.’

Signs of the End of the Age

While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives(F) opposite the temple,(G) Peter,(H) James,(I) John,(J) and Andrew(K) asked him privately, ‘Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? ’

Jesus told them, ‘Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name,(L) saying, “I am he,”(M) and they will deceive(N) many. When you hear of wars and rumours of wars,(O) don’t be alarmed;(P) these things must take place,(Q) but it is not yet the end. For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(R) There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines.[a] These are the beginning(S) of birth pains.(T)

Persecutions Predicted

‘But you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to local courts,[b](U) and you will be flogged(V) in the synagogues.(W) You will stand before governors and kings(X) because of me,(Y) as a witness(Z) to them.(AA) 10 And it is necessary that the gospel(AB) be preached to all nations. 11 So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say, but say whatever is given to you at that time, for it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

12 ‘Brother will betray(AC) brother to death,(AD) and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 13 You will be hated by everyone because of my name,(AE) but the one who endures to the end will be saved.(AF)

The Great Tribulation

14 ‘When you see the abomination of desolation[c](AG) standing where it should not be’ (let the reader understand), ‘then those in Judea(AH) must flee to the mountains. 15 A man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of his house,(AI) 16 and a man in the field must not go back to get his coat.(AJ) 17 Woe(AK) to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!

18 ‘Pray(AL) it[d] won’t happen in winter. 19 For those will be days of tribulation,(AM) the kind that hasn’t been from the beginning of creation,(AN) which God created, until now and never will be again.(AO) 20 If the Lord(AP) had not cut those days short,(AQ) no one would be saved. But he cut those days short for the sake of the elect,(AR) whom he chose.(AS)

21 ‘Then if anyone tells you, “See, here is the Messiah!(AT) See, there! ” do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders(AU) to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.

The Coming of the Son of Man

24 ‘But in those days, after that tribulation:(AV) The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; 25 the stars(AW) will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.(AX) 26 Then they will see the Son of Man(AY) coming(AZ) in clouds(BA) with great power(BB) and glory.(BC) 27 He will send out the angels(BD) and gather his elect(BE) from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.(BF)

The Parable of the Fig Tree

28 ‘Learn(BG) this lesson(BH) from the fig(BI) tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.(BJ) 29 In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognise[e] that he[f] is near – at the door.

30 ‘Truly I tell you,(BK) this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth(BL) will pass away,(BM) but my words will never pass away.(BN)

No One Knows the Day or Hour

32 ‘Now concerning that day(BO) or hour no one knows – neither the angels(BP) in heaven nor the Son(BQ) #– #but only the Father.(BR)

33 ‘Watch! Be alert![g] For you don’t know when the time(BS) is coming.(BT)

34 ‘It is like(BU) a man on a journey, who left his house, gave authority to his servants,(BV) gave each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to be alert. 35 Therefore be alert,(BW) since you don’t know when the master(BX) of the house is coming – whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the cock or early in the morning. 36 Otherwise, when he comes suddenly he might find you sleeping.(BY) 37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert! ’

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!

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.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

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.

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.

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.

Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple(A)

13 Then (B)as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

And Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? (C)Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age(D)

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, (E)Peter, (F)James, (G)John, and (H)Andrew asked Him privately, (I)“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

And Jesus, answering them, began to say: (J)“Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and (K)kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines [a]and troubles. (L)These are the beginnings of [b]sorrows.

“But (M)watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will [c]be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 And (N)the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 (O)But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, [d]or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, (P)but the Holy Spirit. 12 Now (Q)brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 13 (R)And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But (S)he who [e]endures to the end shall be saved.

The Great Tribulation(T)

14 (U)“So when you see the (V)‘abomination of desolation,’ [f]spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then (W)let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. 16 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 17 (X)But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 And pray that your flight may not be in winter. 19 (Y)For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. 20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

21 (Z)“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and (AA)wonders to deceive, if possible, even the [g]elect. 23 But (AB)take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

The Coming of the Son of Man(AC)

24 (AD)“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be (AE)shaken. 26 (AF)Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His [h]elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

The Parable of the Fig Tree(AG)

28 (AH)“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that [i]it is near—at the doors! 30 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but (AI)My words will by no means pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour(AJ)

32 “But of that day and hour (AK)no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the (AL)Father. 33 (AM)Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 (AN)It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave (AO)authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 (AP)Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

13 Då han nu gick ut ur helgedomen, sade en av hans lärjungar till honom: »Mästare, se hurudana stenar och hurudana byggnader!»

Jesus svarade honom: »Ja, du ser nu dessa stora byggnader; men här skall förvisso icke lämnas sten på sten; allt skall bliva nedbrutet.»

När han sedan satt på Oljeberget, mitt emot helgedomen, frågade honom Petrus och Jakob och Johannes och Andreas, då de voro allena:

»Säg oss när detta skall ske, och vad som bliver tecknet till att tiden är inne, då allt detta skall gå i fullbordan.»

Då begynte Jesus tala till dem och sade: »Sen till, att ingen förvillar eder.

Många skola komma under mitt namn och säga: 'Det är jag' och skola förvilla många.

Men när I fån höra krigslarm och rykten om krig, så förloren icke besinningen; sådant måste komma, men därmed är ännu icke änden inne.

Ja, folk skall resa sig upp mot folk och rike mot rike, och det skall bliva jordbävningar på den ena orten efter den andra, och hungersnöd skall uppstå; detta är begynnelsen till 'födslovåndorna'.

Men tagen I eder till vara. Man skall då draga eder inför domstolar, och I skolen bliva gisslade i synagogor och ställas fram inför landshövdingar och konungar, för min skull, till ett vittnesbörd för dem.

10 Men evangelium måste först bliva predikat för alla folk.

11 När man nu för eder åstad och drager eder inför rätta, så gören eder icke förut bekymmer om vad I skolen tala; utan vad som bliver eder givet i den stunden, det mån I tala. Ty det är icke I som skolen tala, utan den helige Ande.

12 Och den ene brodern skall då överlämna den andre till att dödas, ja ock fadern sitt barn; och barn skola sätta sig upp mot sina föräldrar och skola döda dem.

13 Och I skolen bliva hatade av alla, för mitt namns skull. Men den som är ståndaktig intill änden, han skall bliva frälst.

14 Men när I fån se 'förödelsens styggelse' stå där han icke borde stå -- den som läser detta, han give akt därpå -- då må de som äro i Judeen fly bort till bergen,

15 och den som är på taket må icke stiga ned och gå in för att hämta något ur sitt hus,

16 och den som är ute på marken må icke vända tillbaka för att hämta sin mantel.

17 Och ve de som äro havande, eller som giva di på den tiden!

18 Men bedjen att det icke må ske om vintern.

19 Ty den tiden skall bliva 'en tid av vedermöda, så svår att dess like icke har förekommit allt ifrån världens begynnelse, från den tid då Gud skapade världen, intill nu', ej heller någonsin skall förekomma.

20 Och om Herren icke förkortade den tiden, så skulle intet kött bliva frälst; men för de utvaldas skull, för de människors skull, som han har utvalt, har han förkortat den tiden.

21 Och om någon då säger till eder: 'Se här är Messias', eller: 'Se där är han', så tron det icke.

22 Ty människor som falskeligen säga sig vara Messias skola uppstå, så ock falska profeter, och de skola göra tecken och under, för att, om möjligt, förvilla de utvalda.

23 Men tagen I eder till vara. Jag har nu sagt eder allt förut.

24 Men på den tiden, efter den vedermödan, skall solen förmörkas och månen upphöra att giva sitt sken,

25 och stjärnorna skola falla ifrån himmelen, och makterna i himmelen skola bäva.

26 Och då skall man få se 'Människosonen komma i skyarna' med stor makt och härlighet.

27 Och han skall då sända ut sina änglar och församla sina utvalda från de fyra väderstrecken, från jordens ända till himmelens ända.

28 Ifrån fikonträdet mån I här hämta en liknelse. När dess kvistar begynna att få save och löven spricka ut, då veten I att sommaren är nära.

29 Likaså, när I sen detta ske, då kunnen I ock veta att han är nära och står för dörren.

30 Sannerligen säger jag eder: Detta släkte skall icke förgås, förrän allt detta sker.

31 Himmel och jord skola förgås, men mina ord skola icke förgås.

32 Men om den dagen och den stunden vet ingen något, icke änglarna i himmelen, icke ens Sonen -- ingen utom Fadern.

33 Tagen eder till vara, vaken; ty I veten icke när tiden är inne.

34 Såsom när en man reser utrikes och lämnar sitt hus och giver sina tjänare makt och myndighet däröver, åt var och en hans särskilda syssla, och därvid ock bjuder portvaktaren att vaka.

35 likaså bjuder jag eder: Vaken; ty I veten icke när husets herre kommer, om han kommer på aftonen eller vid midnattstiden eller i hanegället eller på morgonen;

36 vaken, så att han icke finner eder sovande, när han oförtänkt kommer.

37 Men vad jag säger till eder, det säger jag till alla: Vaken!»
