Tungkol sa Pagkawasak ng Templo(A)

13 Nang palabas na si Jesus sa Templo, sinabi sa kanya ng isa sa kanyang mga alagad, “Guro, tingnan po ninyo! Napakalaki at napakaganda ng mga gusali at ng mga batong ginamit dito!”

Sumagot si Jesus, “Nakikita mo ba ang naglalakihang gusaling iyan? Walang batong magkapatong na matitira diyan. Magigiba lahat iyan.”

Mga Kahirapan at Pag-uusig na Darating(B)

Habang nakaupo si Jesus sa Bundok ng mga Olibo, sa may tapat ng Templo, palihim siyang tinanong nina Pedro, Santiago, Juan at Andres, “Kailan po ba mangyayari ang mga bagay na ito, at ano po ba ang palatandaan na ang lahat ng mga ito'y malapit nang maganap?”

Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Mag-ingat kayo upang hindi kayo malinlang ninuman. Maraming darating at gagamitin ang aking pangalan. Sila ay magpapanggap na sila ang Cristo, at ililigaw nila ang marami. Huwag kayong mababagabag kung makabalita kayo ng mga digmaan at mga usap-usapan tungkol sa digmaan. Dapat mangyari ang mga ito, ngunit hindi pa ito ang wakas. Sapagkat maglalaban-laban ang mga bansa at ang mga kaharian. Lilindol sa iba't ibang dako, at magkakaroon ng mga taggutom. Ang mga ito'y pasimula pa lamang ng paghihirap na tulad ng nararanasan ng isang nanganganak.

“Mag-ingat(C) kayo! Sapagkat kayo'y darakpin at isasakdal sa mga Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio, hahagupitin sa mga sinagoga, at dadalhin kayo sa mga gobernador at mga hari nang dahil sa inyong pagsunod sa akin, upang magpatotoo sa kanila. 10 Ngunit kailangan munang maipangaral sa lahat ng bansa ang Magandang Balita. 11 Kapag kayo'y dinakip nila at nilitis, huwag kayong mabahala kung ano ang sasabihin ninyo. Sa oras na iyon, sabihin ninyo ang mga salitang ibibigay sa inyo, sapagkat hindi kayo ang magsasalita, kundi ang Espiritu Santo. 12 Ipagkakanulo ng kapatid ang kanyang sariling kapatid upang ipapatay, gayundin ang gagawin ng ama sa kanyang anak, at lalabanan naman ng mga anak ang kanilang mga magulang at ipapapatay ang mga ito. 13 Kapopootan(D) kayo ng lahat dahil sa pagsunod sa akin, ngunit ang manatiling matatag hanggang sa wakas ang siyang maliligtas.”

Ang Kasuklam-suklam na Kalapastanganan(E)

14 “Kapag(F) nakita na ninyo ang kasuklam-suklam na kalapastanganan na nasa dakong di dapat kalagyan (unawain ito ng nagbabasa), ang mga nasa Judea ay dapat nang tumakas papuntang kabundukan. 15 Ang(G) nasa bubungan ay huwag nang mag-aksaya ng panahon na kumuha pa ng kahit ano sa loob ng bahay, 16 at ang nasa bukid ay huwag nang umuwi pa upang kumuha ng balabal. 17 Sa mga araw na iyon, kawawa ang mga nagdadalang-tao at mga nagpapasuso! 18 Ipanalangin ninyong huwag mangyari ang mga ito sa panahon ng taglamig, 19 sapagkat(H) sa mga araw na iyon ang mga tao'y magdaranas ng matinding kapighatian na hindi pa nararanasan mula nang likhain ng Diyos ang sanlibutan, at hindi na muling mararanasan pa kahit kailan. 20 At kung hindi pinaikli ng Panginoon ang mga araw na iyon, walang sinumang makakaligtas; subalit alang-alang sa kanyang mga hinirang, pinaikli niya ang mga iyon.

21 “Kung may magsabi sa inyo, ‘Narito ang Cristo!’ o kaya'y ‘Naroon siya!’ huwag kayong maniniwala. 22 Sapagkat may mga magpapanggap na Cristo at may mga magpapanggap na propeta. Magpapakita sila ng mga himala at mga kababalaghan upang iligaw, kung maaari, maging ang mga hinirang ng Diyos. 23 Kaya't mag-ingat kayo. Sinasabi ko na sa inyo ang lahat ng bagay bago pa man ito mangyari.”

Ang Pagbabalik ng Anak ng Tao(I)

24 “Subalit(J) sa mga araw na iyon, pagkatapos ng kapighatiang iyon, magdidilim ang araw, hindi magliliwanag ang buwan, 25 malalaglag(K) mula sa langit ang mga bituin, at magugulo ang mga kapangyarihan sa kalawakan. 26 Pagkatapos,(L) makikita nila ang Anak ng Tao na nasa ulap, may dakilang kapangyarihan at karangalan. 27 Susuguin niya ang kanyang mga anghel sa apat na sulok ng daigdig upang tipunin ng mga ito ang mga hinirang ng Diyos.”

Ang Aral mula sa Puno ng Igos(M)

28 “Unawain ninyo ang aral mula sa puno ng igos; kapag sumisibol na ang mga sanga nito at nagkakadahon na, alam ninyong malapit na ang tag-araw. 29 Gayundin naman, kapag nakita ninyong nangyayari na ang mga bagay na ito, malalaman ninyong malapit na ang kanyang pagdating; siya'y halos naririto na. 30 Tandaan ninyo: magaganap ang lahat ng ito bago lumipas ang kasalukuyang salinlahi. 31 Lilipas ang langit at ang lupa, ngunit ang aking mga salita ay mananatili magpakailanman.”

Walang Nakakaalam ng Araw o Oras(N)

32 “Ngunit(O) walang nakakaalam ng araw o ng oras na iyon, kahit ang mga anghel sa langit, o ang Anak man. Ang Ama lamang ang nakakaalam nito. 33 Mag-ingat kayo at maging handa dahil hindi ninyo alam kung kailan ito mangyayari. 34 Ang(P) katulad nito'y isang taong maglalakbay sa malayo. Iniwan niya ang kanyang tahanan sa pamamahala ng kanyang mga alipin. Binigyan niya ang bawat isa ng kanya-kanyang gawain, at inutusan niya ang tanod na magbantay. 35 Gayundin naman, magbantay kayong lagi dahil hindi ninyo alam kung kailan darating ang panginoon ng sambahayan. Ito'y maaaring sa takipsilim, sa hatinggabi, sa madaling-araw, o kaya'y sa umaga. 36 Baka siya'y biglang dumating at maratnan kayong natutulog. 37 Ang sinasabi ko sa inyo'y sinasabi ko sa lahat. Maging handa kayo!”

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.

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)
