Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)

預言聖殿被毀

13 耶穌走出聖殿的時候，他的一個門徒對他說：「老師，你看！多好的石頭，多好的建築啊！」

2 耶穌對他說：「你在看這些雄偉的建築嗎？這裡將絕不會有一塊石頭留在另一塊石頭上而不被拆下。」

末日的預兆

3 耶穌在橄欖山上，面對聖殿坐著。彼得、雅各、約翰和安得烈悄悄地問他： 4 「請告訴我們，這些事什麼時候會發生呢？這一切將要成就的時候，會有什麼預兆呢？」

5 耶穌就開始對他們說：「你們要當心，免得有人迷惑你們。 6 許多人會以我的名而來，聲稱『我就是那一位[a]』，並且會迷惑許多人。 7 當你們聽見戰爭和戰爭消息的時候，不可驚慌。這些事必須發生，不過結局還沒有到。 8 一個民族要起來反對另一個民族，一個國家要起來反對另一個國家；到處都會有地震和饑荒[b]。這些都像臨產陣痛的開始。

預言受迫害

9 「你們自己要當心。他們將要把你們送交議會；你們會在會堂裡受鞭打。為我的緣故，你們將站在總督和君王面前，好對他們做見證。 10 然而，福音必須先傳給萬國。 11 當他們把你們交出去、帶走的時候，不要預先憂慮[c]說什麼。到時候，你們被賜予什麼話，就說什麼話，因為說話的不是你們自己，而是聖靈。 12 兄弟將要把兄弟出賣，置於死地；父親對孩子也會這樣。兒女會起來與父母作對，並且害死他們。 13 為了我的名，你們將被所有的人憎恨，但是忍耐到底的，這個人將會得救。

大患難的日子

14 「當你們看見[d]『那帶來毀滅的褻瀆者[e]』[f]站在不該站的地方時——讀者應當思考——那時，在猶太的人應當逃到山裡； 15 在屋頂上的人，不要下來[g]，也不要進屋子裡去拿什麼東西； 16 在田裡的人，不要轉回到背後的事上，去拿自己的衣服。 17 在那些日子裡，孕婦和哺乳的女人有禍了！ 18 你們要禱告，好讓這事[h]不在冬天發生， 19 因為在那些日子裡將有患難。這樣的患難從神創世之初直到如今，從來沒有發生過，也絕不再發生。 20 如果不是主減少了那些日子，就沒有一個人[i]能得救。然而，為了那些蒙揀選的人，就是他所揀選的，他減少了那些日子。

21 「那時候，如果有人對你們說『看哪，基督在這裡！』『看哪，他在那裡！』你們不要相信。 22 因為假基督們和假先知們會出現，行神蹟和奇事，如果有可能，甚至迷惑那些蒙揀選的人。 23 所以你們要當心。我已經預先把一切都告訴你們了。

人子的來臨

24 「在那些日子裡，隨著那患難，

『太陽就要變黑，
月亮也不發光，
25 星辰要從天上墜落，
諸天之上的各勢力也將被震動。』

26 那時候，人們將要看見人子帶著極大的權能和榮耀，在雲彩中來臨。 27 他要差派天使們，並且從四方，從地極到天邊，召集他所揀選的人。

無花果樹的比喻

28 「你們要從無花果樹那裡學個比喻：當無花果樹的枝子發嫩長出葉子的時候，你們就知道夏天快到了。 29 照樣，當你們看見這些事發生的時候，你們應當知道：人子[j]快到了，就在門口了。 30 我確實地告訴你們：在這一切事發生之前，這世代絕不會過去。 31 天和地將要消逝，但是我的話絕不會消逝。

無人知道那日子和那時刻

32 「至於那日子或那時刻，沒有人知道，連天上的天使們也不知道，子也不知道，唯有父知道。 33 你們要當心，要警醒[k]；因為你們不知道那時刻是什麼時候。 34 這就像一個人出外旅行，離開了家，把權柄交給了他的奴僕們，又把工作分給了每個人，他吩咐看門的人要警醒。 35 所以你們要警醒，因為你們不知道這家的主人什麼時候回來，或傍晚，或半夜，或雞叫時，或凌晨； 36 免得他忽然回來，看見你們在睡覺。 37 我對你們說的，也對所有的人說：你們要警醒！」

Mark 13
New English Translation

The Destruction of the Temple

13 Now[a] as Jesus[b] was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these tremendous stones and buildings!”[c] 2 Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another.[d] All will be torn down!”[e]

Signs of the End of the Age

3 So[f] while he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John,[g] and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things[h] happen? And what will be the sign that all these things are about to take place?” 5 Jesus began to say to them, “Watch out[i] that no one misleads you. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’[j] and they will mislead many. 7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.[k] 8 For nation will rise up in arms[l] against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines.[m] These are but the beginning of birth pains.

Persecution of Disciples

9 “You must watch out for yourselves. You will be handed over[n] to councils[o] and beaten in the synagogues.[p] You will stand before governors and kings[q] because of me, as a witness to them. 10 First the gospel must be preached to all nations. 11 When they arrest you and hand you over for trial,[r] do not worry about what to speak. But say whatever is given you at that time,[s] for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. 12 Brother will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against[t] parents and have them put to death. 13 You will be hated by everyone because of my name.[u] But the one who endures to the end will be saved.[v]

The Abomination of Desolation

14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation[w] standing where it[x] should not be” (let the reader understand),[y] “then those in Judea must flee[z] to the mountains. 15 The one on the roof[aa] must not come down or go inside to take anything out of his house.[ab] 16 The one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 17 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! 18 Pray that it may not be in winter. 19 For in those days there will be suffering[ac] unlike anything that has happened[ad] from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, or ever will happen. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved. But because of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut them[ae] short. 21 Then[af] if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’[ag] or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe him. 22 For false messiahs[ah] and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, the elect. 23 Be careful! I have told you everything ahead of time.

The Arrival of the Son of Man

24 “But in those days, after that suffering,[ai] the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.[aj] 26 Then everyone[ak] will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds[al] with great power and glory. 27 Then he will send angels and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.[am]

The Parable of the Fig Tree

28 “Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also you, when you see these things happening, know[an] that he is near, right at the door. 30 I tell you the truth,[ao] this generation[ap] will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.[aq]

Be Ready!

32 “But as for that day or hour no one knows it—neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son[ar]—except the Father. 33 Watch out! Stay alert![as] For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey. He left his house and put his slaves[at] in charge, assigning[au] to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert. 35 Stay alert, then, because you do not know when the owner of the house will return—whether during evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn— 36 or else he might find you asleep when he returns suddenly. 37 What I say to you I say to everyone: Stay alert!”

Footnotes

  1. Mark 13:1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
  2. Mark 13:1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. Mark 13:1 sn The Jerusalem temple was widely admired around the world. See Josephus, Ant. 15.11 [15.380-425]; J. W. 5.5 [5.184-227] and Tacitus, History 5.8, who called it “immensely opulent.” Josephus compared it to a beautiful snowcapped mountain.
  4. Mark 13:2 sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.
  5. Mark 13:2 tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”
  6. Mark 13:3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
  7. Mark 13:3 tn Grk “and James and John,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  8. Mark 13:4 sn Both references to these things are plural, so more than the temple’s destruction is in view. The question may presuppose that such a catastrophe signals the end.
  9. Mark 13:5 tn Or “Be on guard.”
  10. Mark 13:6 tn That is, “I am the Messiah.”
  11. Mark 13:7 tn Grk “it is not yet the end.”
  12. Mark 13:8 tn For the translation “rise up in arms” see L&N 55.2.
  13. Mark 13:8 sn See Isa 5:13-14; 13:6-16; Hag 2:6-7; Zech 14:4.
  14. Mark 13:9 tn Grk “They will hand you over.” “They” is an indefinite plural, referring to people in general. The parallel in Matt 10:17 makes this explicit.
  15. Mark 13:9 sn Councils in this context has a non-technical sense referring to local judicial bodies (courts) attached to the Jewish synagogue (cf. BDAG 967 s.v. συνέδριον 1.a). These courts would be responsible for meting out justice and discipline within the Jewish community.
  16. Mark 13:9 sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.
  17. Mark 13:9 sn These statements look at persecution both from a Jewish context as the mention of councils and synagogues suggests, and from a Gentile one as the reference to governors and kings suggests. Some fulfillment of Jewish persecution can be seen in Acts.
  18. Mark 13:11 tn Or “hand you over into custody,” in particular “as a t.t. of police and courts ‘hand over into [the] custody [of]’” (BDAG 762 s.v. παραδίδωμι 1.b). In context some sort of trial is implied (cf. Luke 12:11).
  19. Mark 13:11 tn Grk “in that hour.”
  20. Mark 13:12 tn Or “will rebel against.”
  21. Mark 13:13 sn See 1 Cor 1:25-31.
  22. Mark 13:13 sn But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Jesus was not claiming here that salvation is by works, because he had already taught that it is by grace (cf. 10:15). He was simply arguing that genuine faith evidences itself in persistence through even the worst of trials.
  23. Mark 13:14 sn The reference to the abomination of desolation is an allusion to Dan 9:27. Though some have seen the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy in the actions of Antiochus IV (or a representative of his) in 167 b.c., the words of Jesus seem to indicate that Antiochus was not the final fulfillment, but that there was (from Jesus’ perspective) still another fulfillment yet to come. Some argue that this was realized in a.d. 70, while others claim that it refers specifically to Antichrist and will not be fully realized until the period of the great tribulation at the end of the age (cf. Mark 13:19, 24; Matt 24:21; Rev 3:10).
  24. Mark 13:14 tn Or perhaps “he.” Those who see the participle ἑστηκότα as masculine singular generally understand it to refer to the individual known as the Antichrist, often citing 2 Thess 2:3-4 as a related passage. By grammatical form the participle ἑστηκότα can also be neuter plural, however, and this is sometimes interpreted as referring to various abominations or atrocities committed during the intertestamental period, or to a statue set up in the temple, or to an altar constructed on top of the altar of burnt offering for the purpose of pagan sacrifices. Each of these views is not without difficulties. Confining the issue merely to the grammatical problem, the interpreter is forced to choose between a discrepancy in grammatical gender (the participle ἑστηκότα is masculine singular but the word it modifies, βδέλυγμα, is neuter singular) or a discrepancy in number (the participle ἑστηκότα is neuter plural but the word it modifies, βδέλυγμα, is neuter singular. Given that the issue is one of grammatical gender, however, it is still possible for the neuter head noun (βδέλυγμα) to refer to a masculine individual rather than a set of circumstances or a thing. The present translation uses “it” for the following pronoun, allowing a degree of ambiguity to remain for the English reader.
  25. Mark 13:14 sn This parenthetical comment is generally regarded as a command by the author made directly to the readers, not as part of Jesus’ original speech. For this reason the statement is not placed within quotation marks.
  26. Mark 13:14 sn Fleeing to the mountains is a key OT image: Gen 19:17; Judg 6:2; Isa 15:5; Jer 16:16; Zech 14:5.
  27. Mark 13:15 sn Most of the roofs in the NT were flat roofs made of pounded dirt, sometimes mixed with lime or stones, supported by heavy wooden beams. They generally had an easy means of access, either a sturdy wooden ladder or stone stairway, sometimes on the outside of the house.
  28. Mark 13:15 sn The nature of the judgment coming upon them will be so quick and devastating that one will not have time to come down or go inside to take anything out of his house. It is best just to escape as quickly as possible.
  29. Mark 13:19 tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”
  30. Mark 13:19 sn Suffering unlike anything that has happened. Some refer this event to the destruction of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. While the events of a.d. 70 may reflect somewhat the comments Jesus makes here, the reference to the scope and severity of this judgment strongly suggest that much more is in view. Most likely Jesus is referring to the great end-time judgment on Jerusalem in the great tribulation.
  31. Mark 13:20 tn Grk “the days.”
  32. Mark 13:21 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
  33. Mark 13:21 tn Or “the Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”sn See the note on Christ in 8:29.
  34. Mark 13:22 tn Or “false christs”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
  35. Mark 13:24 tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”
  36. Mark 13:25 sn An allusion to Isa 13:10; 34:4 (LXX); Joel 2:10. The heavens were seen as the abode of heavenly forces, so their shaking indicates distress in the spiritual realm. Although some take the powers as a reference to bodies in the heavens (like stars and planets, “the heavenly bodies,” NIV) this is not as likely.
  37. Mark 13:26 tn Grk “they.”
  38. Mark 13:26 sn An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full judging authority.
  39. Mark 13:27 tn Or “of the sky”; the Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context.
  40. Mark 13:29 tn The verb γινώσκετε (ginōskete, “know”) can be parsed as either present indicative or present imperative. In this context the imperative fits better, since the movement is from analogy (trees and seasons) to the future (the signs of the coming of the kingdom) and since the emphasis is on preparation for this event.
  41. Mark 13:30 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
  42. Mark 13:30 sn This is one of the hardest verses in the gospels to interpret. Various views exist for what generation means. (1) Some take it as meaning “race” and thus as an assurance that the Jewish race (nation) will not pass away. But it is very questionable that the Greek term γενεά (genea) can have this meaning. Two other options are possible. (2) Generation might mean “this type of generation” and refer to the generation of wicked humanity. Then the point is that humanity will not perish, because God will redeem it. Or (3) generation may refer to “the generation that sees the signs of the end” (v. 26), who will also see the end itself. In other words, once the movement to the return of Christ starts, all the events connected with it happen very quickly, in rapid succession.
  43. Mark 13:31 sn The words that Jesus predicts here will never pass away. They are more stable and lasting than creation itself! For this kind of image, see Isa 40:8; 55:10-11.
  44. Mark 13:32 sn The phrase nor the Son has caused a great deal of theological debate because on the surface it appears to conflict with the concept of Jesus’ deity. The straightforward meaning of the text is that the Son does not know the time of his return. If Jesus were divine, though, wouldn’t he know this information? There are other passages which similarly indicate that Jesus did not know certain things. For example, Luke 2:52 indicates that Jesus grew in wisdom; this has to mean that Jesus did not know everything all the time but learned as he grew. So Mark 13:32 is not alone in implying that Jesus did not know certain things. The best option for understanding Mark 13:32 and similar passages is to hold the two concepts in tension: The Son in his earthly life and ministry had limited knowledge of certain things, yet he was still deity.
  45. Mark 13:33 tc The vast majority of witnesses (א A C L W Θ Ψ ƒ1,13 M lat sy co) have καὶ προσεύχεσθε after ἀγρυπνεῖτε (agrupneite kai proseuchesthe, “stay alert and pray”). This may be a motivated reading, influenced by the similar command in Mark 14:38 where προσεύχεσθε is solidly attested, and more generally from the parallel in Luke 21:36 (though δέομαι [deomai, “ask”] is used there). As B. M. Metzger notes, it is a predictable variant that scribes would have been likely to produce independently of each other (TCGNT 95). The words are not found in B D a c d k. Although the external evidence for the shorter reading is slender, it probably better accounts for the longer reading than vice versa.
  46. Mark 13:34 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 10:44.
  47. Mark 13:34 tn Grk “giving.”

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.

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)

Marcos 13
La Palabra (España)

Jesús predice la destrucción del Templo (Mt 24,1-2; Lc 21,5-6)

13 Cuando Jesús salía del Templo, uno de sus discípulos le dijo:

— Maestro, ¡mira qué hermosura de piedras y qué construcciones!

2 Jesús le contestó:

— ¿Ves esas grandiosas construcciones? Pues de ellas no quedará piedra sobre piedra. ¡Todo será destruido!

Los signos del fin del mundo (Mt 24,3-14; Lc 21,5-6)

3 Estaba Jesús sentado en la ladera del monte de los Olivos de cara al Templo, cuando Pedro, Santiago, Juan y Andrés le preguntaron aparte:

4 — Dinos cuándo sucederá todo eso y cómo sabremos que esas cosas están a punto de realizarse.

5 Jesús les contestó:

— Tened cuidado de que nadie os engañe. 6 Porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: “Yo soy”, y engañarán a mucha gente. 7 Cuando oigáis noticias de guerras y rumores de conflictos bélicos, no os alarméis. Aunque todo eso ha de suceder, todavía no será el fin. 8 Se levantarán unas naciones contra otras, y unos reinos contra otros, y por todas partes habrá terremotos y hambres. Estas calamidades serán sólo el principio de los males que han de sobrevenir.

9 Mirad por vosotros mismos. Os entregarán a las autoridades y os golpearán en las sinagogas. Por causa de mí os llevarán ante gobernadores y reyes para que deis testimonio delante de ellos. 10 Pues antes del fin ha de ser anunciada a todas las naciones la buena noticia [de la salvación]. 11 Cuando os conduzcan para entregaros a las autoridades, no os preocupéis por lo que habéis de decir; decid lo que en aquel momento os sugiera Dios, pues no seréis vosotros quienes habléis, sino el Espíritu Santo. 12 Entonces el hermano entregará a la muerte a su hermano, y el padre a su hijo; los hijos se levantarán contra sus padres y los matarán. 13 Todos os odiarán por causa de mí; pero el que se mantenga firme hasta el fin, se salvará.

La gran tribulación (Mt 24,15-28; Lc 21,20-24)

14 Cuando veáis que el ídolo abominable de la destrucción está en el lugar donde no debe estar (medite en esto el que lo lea), entonces los que estén en Judea huyan a las montañas; 15 el que esté en la azotea no baje ni entre en casa a recoger ninguna de sus cosas; 16 el que esté en el campo no regrese ni siquiera para recoger su manto. 17 ¡Ay de las mujeres embarazadas y de las que en esos días estén criando! 18 Orad para que todo esto no suceda en invierno, 19 porque aquellos días serán de un sufrimiento tal como no lo ha habido desde que el mundo existe, cuando Dios lo creó , hasta ahora, ni volverá a haberlo jamás. 20 Si el Señor no acortara ese tiempo, nadie podría salvarse. Pero él lo abreviará por causa de los que ha elegido. 21 Si alguien os dice entonces: “Mira, aquí está el Mesías” o “Mira, está allí”, no lo creáis. 22 Porque aparecerán falsos mesías y falsos profetas que harán señales milagrosas y prodigios con objeto de engañar, si fuera posible, incluso a los que Dios ha elegido. 23 ¡Tened cuidado! Os lo advierto todo de antemano.

La venida del Hijo del hombre (Mt 24,29-31; Lc 21,25-28)

24 Cuando hayan pasado los sufrimientos de aquellos días, el sol se oscurecerá y la luna perderá su brillo; 25 las estrellas caerán del cielo y las fuerzas celestes se estremecerán. 26 Entonces se verá llegar al Hijo del hombre en las nubes con gran poder y gloria. 27 Y él enviará a los ángeles para que convoquen a sus elegidos de los cuatro puntos cardinales, del confín de la tierra hasta el confín del cielo.

El ejemplo de la higuera (Mt 24,32-35; Lc 21,29-33)

28 Fijaos en el ejemplo de la higuera: cuando veis que sus ramas se ponen tiernas y comienzan a brotarles las hojas, conocéis que el verano está cerca. 29 Pues de la misma manera, cuando veáis esto que os anuncio, sabed que el fin está cerca, a las puertas. 30 Os aseguro que no pasará la actual generación hasta que todo esto acontezca. 31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán.

Invitación a la vigilancia (Mt 24,36-44; 25,13)

32 En cuanto al día y la hora, nadie sabe nada, ni los ángeles del cielo ni el Hijo. Solamente el Padre lo sabe. 33 Por tanto, procurad estar despiertos, porque no sabéis cuándo llegará el momento. 34 Es como alguien que, al ausentarse de su casa, confía a sus criados la administración de ella; a cada uno lo hace responsable de su propia obligación, y al portero le encarga que vigile bien. 35 Estad, pues, vigilantes también vosotros, porque no sabéis cuándo va a llegar el señor de la casa: si al anochecer, a la medianoche, al canto del gallo o de madrugada. 36 ¡Que no os encuentre dormidos, aunque venga de improviso! 37 Y esto que os digo a vosotros, se lo digo a todos: ¡Estad vigilantes!
