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!”

Doomsday Deceivers

13 As he walked away from the Temple, one of his disciples said, “Teacher, look at that stonework! Those buildings!”

Jesus said, “You’re impressed by this grandiose architecture? There’s not a stone in the whole works that is not going to end up in a heap of rubble.”

3-4 Later, as he was sitting on Mount Olives in full view of the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew got him off by himself and asked, “Tell us, when is this going to happen? What sign will we get that things are coming to a head?”

5-8 Jesus began, “Watch out for doomsday deceivers. Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities claiming, ‘I’m the One.’ They will deceive a lot of people. When you hear of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and don’t panic. This is routine history, and no sign of the end. Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Earthquakes will occur in various places. There will be famines. But these things are nothing compared to what’s coming.

9-10 “And watch out! They’re going to drag you into court. And then it will go from bad to worse, dog-eat-dog, everyone at your throat because you carry my name. You’re placed there as sentinels to truth. The Message has to be preached all across the world.

11 “When they bring you, betrayed, into court, don’t worry about what you’ll say. When the time comes, say what’s on your heart—the Holy Spirit will make his witness in and through you.

12-13 “It’s going to be brother killing brother, father killing child, children killing parents. There’s no telling who will hate you because of me.

“Stay with it—that’s what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry; you’ll be saved.

Run for the Hills

14-18 “But be ready to run for it when you see the monster of desecration set up where it should never be. You who can read, make sure you understand what I’m talking about. If you’re living in Judea at the time, run for the hills; if you’re working in the yard, don’t go back to the house to get anything; if you’re out in the field, don’t go back to get your coat. Pregnant and nursing mothers will have it especially hard. Hope and pray this won’t happen in the middle of winter.

19-20 “These are going to be hard days—nothing like it from the time God made the world right up to the present. And there’ll be nothing like it again. If he let the days of trouble run their course, nobody would make it. But because of God’s chosen people, those he personally chose, he has already intervened.

No One Knows the Day or Hour

21-23 “If anyone tries to flag you down, calling out, ‘Here’s the Messiah!’ or points, ‘There he is!’ don’t fall for it. Fake Messiahs and lying preachers are going to pop up everywhere. Their impressive credentials and bewitching performances will pull the wool over the eyes of even those who ought to know better. So watch out. I’ve given you fair warning.

24-25 “Following those hard times,

Sun will fade out,
    moon cloud over,
Stars fall out of the sky,
    cosmic powers tremble.

26-27 “And then they’ll see the Son of Man enter in grand style, his Arrival filling the sky—no one will miss it! He’ll dispatch the angels; they will pull in the chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole.

28-31 “Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner. And so it is with you. When you see all these things, you know he is at the door. Don’t take this lightly. I’m not just saying this for some future generation, but for this one, too—these things will happen. Sky and earth will wear out; my words won’t wear out.

32-37 “But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven’s angels, not even the Son. Only the Father. So keep a sharp lookout, for you don’t know the timetable. It’s like a man who takes a trip, leaving home and putting his servants in charge, each assigned a task, and commanding the gatekeeper to stand watch. So, stay at your post, watching. You have no idea when the homeowner is returning, whether evening, midnight, cockcrow, or morning. You don’t want him showing up unannounced, with you asleep on the job. I say it to you, and I’m saying it to all: Stay at your post. Keep 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!”

“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)

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives(C) opposite the temple, Peter, James, John(D) and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”

Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(E) Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 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.

“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)
