预言圣殿被毁

13 耶稣从殿里出来的时候,有一个门徒对他说:“夫子,请看,这是何等的石头,何等的殿宇!” 耶稣对他说:“你看见这大殿宇吗?将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上不被拆毁了。”

这些事的预兆

耶稣在橄榄山上对圣殿而坐,彼得雅各约翰安得烈暗暗地问他说: “请告诉我们,什么时候有这些事呢?这一切事将成的时候有什么预兆呢?” 耶稣说:“你们要谨慎,免得有人迷惑你们。 将来有好些人冒我的名来,说‘我是基督’,并且要迷惑许多人。 你们听见打仗和打仗的风声,不要惊慌,这些事是必须有的,只是末期还没有到。 民要攻打民,国要攻打国,多处必有地震、饥荒,这都是灾难[a]的起头。

忍耐到底必要得救

“但你们要谨慎,因为人要把你们交给公会,并且你们在会堂里要受鞭打,又为我的缘故站在诸侯与君王面前,对他们作见证。 10 然而,福音必须先传给万民。 11 人把你们拉去交官的时候,不要预先思虑说什么,到那时候,赐给你们什么话,你们就说什么;因为说话的不是你们,乃是圣灵。 12 弟兄要把弟兄,父亲要把儿子,送到死地;儿女要起来与父母为敌,害死他们。 13 并且你们要为我的名被众人恨恶,唯有忍耐到底的,必然得救。

为选民要减少灾难的日子

14 “你们看见‘那行毁坏可憎的’站在不当站的地方——读这经的人须要会意——那时,在犹太的,应当逃到山上; 15 在房上的,不要下来,也不要进去拿家里的东西; 16 在田里的,也不要回去取衣裳。 17 当那些日子,怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了! 18 你们应当祈求,叫这些事不在冬天临到。 19 因为在那些日子必有灾难,自从神创造万物直到如今并没有这样的灾难,后来也必没有。 20 若不是主减少那日子,凡有血气的总没有一个得救的;只是为主的选民,他将那日子减少了。 21 那时,若有人对你们说‘看哪,基督在这里’,或说‘基督在那里’,你们不要信。 22 因为假基督、假先知将要起来,显神迹奇事,倘若能行,就把选民迷惑了。 23 你们要谨慎!看哪,凡事我都预先告诉你们了!

24 “在那些日子,那灾难以后,‘日头要变黑了,月亮也不放光, 25 众星要从天上坠落,天势都要震动。’ 26 那时,他们[b]要看见人子有大能力、大荣耀驾云降临。 27 他要差遣天使,把他的选民从四方[c],从地极直到天边,都招聚了来。

从无花果树学比方

28 “你们可以从无花果树学个比方。当树枝发嫩长叶的时候,你们就知道夏天近了。 29 这样,你们几时看见这些事成就,也该知道人子[d]近了,正在门口了。 30 我实在告诉你们:这世代还没有过去,这些事都要成就。 31 天地要废去,我的话却不能废去。 32 但那日子、那时辰,没有人知道,连天上的使者也不知道,子也不知道,唯有父知道。 33 你们要谨慎,警醒祈祷,因为你们不晓得那日期几时来到。 34 这事正如一个人离开本家,寄居外邦,把权柄交给仆人,分派各人当做的工,又吩咐看门的警醒。 35 所以,你们要警醒,因为你们不知道家主什么时候来,或晚上,或半夜,或鸡叫,或早晨。 36 恐怕他忽然来到,看见你们睡着了。 37 我对你们所说的话,也是对众人说:要警醒!”

Things to Come

13 As He was coming out of the temple [grounds], one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look what [a]wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”(A) Jesus replied to him, “You see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another which will not be [b]torn down!”

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be fulfilled?” Jesus began to say to them, “Be careful and see to it that no one misleads you. Many will come in My name [misusing My name or claiming to be the Messiah], saying, ‘I am He!’ and will deceive and mislead many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed (frightened, troubled); these things must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These things are the beginning of the [c]birth pangs [the intolerable anguish and suffering].

“But be on your guard; they will turn you over to courts, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand [as accused] before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. 10 The gospel [that is, the good news regarding the way of salvation] must first be preached to all the [Gentile] nations.(B) 11 When they take you and turn you over [to the court], do not worry beforehand about what to say, but say whatever is given to you [by God] in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit [who will speak through you]. 12 Brother will betray brother to [be put to] death, and a father [will hand over] his child; and children will rise up and take a stand against parents and have them put to death. 13 You will be hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name, but the one who [patiently perseveres empowered by the Holy Spirit and] endures to the end, he will be saved.

14 “But when you see the [d]abomination of desolation standing [in the temple sanctuary] where it ought not to be (let the [e]reader understand) then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.(C) 15 Whoever is on the housetop must not go down [to enter the house], or go inside to take anything out of his house; 16 whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his coat. 17 And woe to those women who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 Pray that it will not occur in winter, 19 for at that time there will be such tribulation as has not occurred, from the beginning of the creation which God made, until now—and never will [be again]. 20 And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose [for Himself], He shortened the days.(D) 21 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it; 22 for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will provide signs and wonders in order to deceive, if [such a thing were] possible, even the elect [those God has chosen for Himself]. 23 But be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.

The Return of Christ

24 “But in those days, after [the suffering and distress of] that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,(E) 25 and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.(F) 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory [in royal majesty and splendor].(G) 27 And then He will send out the angels, and will gather together His elect [those He has chosen for Himself] from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: as soon as its branch becomes tender and it puts out its leaves, you recognize that summer is near.(H) 29 Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, know [for certain] that He is near, right at the door. 30 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, this generation [the people living when these signs and events begin] will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth [as now known] will [f]pass away, but My words will not pass away. 32 But of that [exact] day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son [in His humanity], but the Father alone.

33 “Be on guard and stay constantly alert [g][and pray]; for you do not know when the appointed time will come. 34 It is like a man away on a journey, who when he left home put his servants in charge, each with his particular task, and also ordered the doorkeeper to be continually alert. 35 Therefore, be continually on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— 36 [stay alert,] in case he should come suddenly and unexpectedly and find you asleep and unprepared. 37 What I say to you I say to everyone, ‘Be on the alert [stay awake and be continually cautious]!’”

  1. Mark 13:1 The massive size and polished surfaces of the fitted stones that formed the temple structure created a magnificent sight (cf Luke 21:5). The refurbishing of the temple was begun by Herod the Great in 20 b.c. and was completed in a.d. 64 by Herod Agrippa II. The rabbis had a saying: “Whoever has not seen the temple of Herod has never seen a beautiful building” (as quoted from the Talmud). They also said that Herod built it of yellow, white, and perhaps blue marble; and that he intended to cover it with gold, but the rabbis advised him not to because it was beautiful just as it was, looking like the waves of the sea.
  2. Mark 13:2 In a.d. 70, just six years after the temple complex was completed, it was destroyed by the Roman general Titus and his army, who thoroughly devastated Jerusalem.
  3. Mark 13:8 The Jews used this phrase to describe the unprecedented trouble that would occur prior to Messiah’s advent (as recorded in the Talmud).
  4. Mark 13:14 I.e. the detestable one who desecrates the temple. See note Matt 24:15.
  5. Mark 13:14 I.e. the reader of the book of Daniel (cf Matt 24:15). Jesus is indicating that the final fulfillment of this prophecy is yet to come.
  6. Mark 13:31 See Rev 21:1, “...the first heaven and the first earth passed away....”
  7. Mark 13:33 One early ms adds “and pray.”

The Destruction of the Temple Foretold

13 As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!’ Then Jesus asked him, ‘Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.’

When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, ‘Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?’ Then Jesus began to say to them, ‘Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say, “I am he!”[a] and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.

Persecution Foretold

‘As for yourselves, beware; for they will hand you over to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them. 10 And the good news[b] must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 When they bring you to trial and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say; but say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 13 and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

The Desolating Sacrilege

14 ‘But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains; 15 someone on the housetop must not go down or enter the house to take anything away; 16 someone in the field must not turn back to get a coat. 17 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not be in winter. 19 For in those days there will be suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, no, and never will be. 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 has cut short those days. 21 And if anyone says to you at that time, “Look! Here is the Messiah!”[c] or “Look! There he is!”—do not believe it. 22 False messiahs[d] and false prophets will appear and produce signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But be alert; I have already told you everything.

The Coming of the Son of Man

24 ‘But in those days, after that suffering,

the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light,
25 and the stars will be falling from heaven,
    and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

26 Then they will see “the Son of Man coming in clouds” with great power and glory. 27 Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

28 ‘From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he[e] is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

The Necessity for Watchfulness

32 ‘But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Beware, keep alert;[f] for you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. 35 Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, 36 or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.’
