Señales del fin del mundo(A)

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

―¡Mira, Maestro! ¡Qué piedras! ¡Qué edificios!

―¿Ves todos estos grandiosos edificios? —contestó Jesús—. No quedará piedra sobre piedra; todo será derribado.

Más tarde estaba Jesús sentado en el monte de los Olivos, frente al templo. Y Pedro, Jacobo, Juan y Andrés le preguntaron en privado:

―Dinos, ¿cuándo sucederá eso? ¿Y cuál será la señal de que todo está a punto de cumplirse?

―Tened cuidado de que nadie os engañe —comenzó Jesús a advertirles—. Vendrán muchos que, usando mi nombre, dirán: “Yo soy”, y engañarán a muchos. Cuando escuchéis de guerras y de rumores de guerras, no os alarméis. Es necesario que eso suceda, pero no será todavía el fin. Se levantará nación contra nación y reino contra reino. Habrá terremotos por todas partes; también habrá hambre. Esto será solo el comienzo de los dolores.

»Pero vosotros cuidaos. Os entregarán a los tribunales y os azotarán en las sinagogas. Por mi causa compareceréis ante gobernadores y reyes para dar testimonio ante ellos. 10 Pero primero tendrá que predicarse el evangelio a todas las naciones. 11 Y, cuando os arresten y os sometan a juicio, no os preocupéis de antemano por lo que vais a decir. Declarad solo lo que se os revele en ese momento, porque no seréis vosotros los que habléis, sino el Espíritu Santo.

12 »El hermano entregará a la muerte al hermano, y el padre al hijo. Los hijos se rebelarán contra sus padres y les darán muerte. 13 Todo el mundo os odiará por causa de mi nombre, pero el que se mantenga firme hasta el fin será salvo.

14 »Ahora bien, cuando veáis “el horrible sacrilegio”[a] donde no debe estar (el que lee, que lo entienda), entonces los que estén en Judea huyan a las montañas. 15 El que esté en la azotea no baje ni entre en casa para llevarse nada. 16 Y el que esté en el campo no regrese para buscar su capa. 17 ¡Ay de las que estén embarazadas o amamantando en aquellos días! 18 Orad para que esto no suceda en invierno, 19 porque serán días de tribulación como no la ha habido desde el principio, cuando Dios creó el mundo,[b] ni la habrá jamás. 20 Si el Señor no hubiera acortado esos días, nadie sobreviviría. Pero, por causa de los que él ha elegido, los ha acortado. 21 Entonces, si alguien os dice: “¡Mirad, aquí está el Cristo!” o “¡Mirad, allí está!”, no lo creáis. 22 Porque surgirán falsos Cristos y falsos profetas que harán señales y milagros para engañar, de ser posible, aun a los elegidos. 23 Así que tened cuidado; os he prevenido de todo.

24 »Pero en aquellos días, después de esa tribulación,

»“se oscurecerá el sol
    y no brillará más la luna;
25 las estrellas caerán del cielo
    y los cuerpos celestes serán sacudidos”.[c]

26 »Verán entonces al Hijo del hombre venir en las nubes con gran poder y gloria. 27 Y él enviará a sus ángeles para reunir de los cuatro vientos a los elegidos, desde los confines de la tierra hasta los confines del cielo.

28 »Aprended de la higuera esta lección: Tan pronto como se ponen tiernas sus ramas y brotan sus hojas, sabéis que el verano está cerca. 29 Igualmente, cuando veáis que suceden estas cosas, sabed que el tiempo está cerca, a las puertas. 30 Os aseguro que no pasará esta generación hasta que todas estas cosas sucedan. 31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras jamás pasarán.

Se desconocen el día y la hora

32 »Pero, en cuanto al día y la hora, nadie lo sabe, ni siquiera los ángeles en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino solo el Padre. 33 ¡Estad alerta! ¡Vigilad![d] Porque no sabéis cuándo llegará ese momento. 34 Es como cuando un hombre sale de viaje y deja su casa al cuidado de sus siervos, cada uno con su tarea, y le manda al portero que vigile.

35 »Por lo tanto, estad despiertos, porque no sabéis cuándo volverá el dueño de la casa, si al atardecer, o a la medianoche, o al canto del gallo, o al amanecer; 36 no sea que venga de repente y os encuentre dormidos. 37 Lo que os digo a vosotros, se lo digo a todos: ¡Estad despiertos!»

Discours sur le mont des Oliviers

13 Lorsque Jésus sortit du temple, un de ses disciples lui dit: Maître, regarde quelles pierres, et quelles constructions! Jésus lui répondit: Vois-tu ces grandes constructions? Il ne restera pas pierre sur pierre qui ne soit renversée.

Il s’assit sur la montagne des Oliviers, en face du temple. Et Pierre, Jacques, Jean et André lui firent en particulier cette question: Dis-nous, quand cela arrivera-t-il, et à quel signe connaîtra-t-on que toutes ces choses vont s’accomplir?

Jésus se mit alors à leur dire: Prenez garde que personne ne vous séduise. Car plusieurs viendront sous mon nom, disant: C’est moi. Et ils séduiront beaucoup de gens. Quand vous entendrez parler de guerres et de bruits de guerres, ne soyez pas troublés, car il faut que ces choses arrivent. Mais ce ne sera pas encore la fin. Une nation s’élèvera contre une nation, et un royaume contre un royaume; il y aura des tremblements de terre en divers lieux, il y aura des famines. Ce ne sera que le commencement des douleurs. Prenez garde à vous-mêmes. On vous livrera aux tribunaux, et vous serez battus de verges dans les synagogues; vous comparaîtrez devant des gouverneurs et devant des rois, à cause de moi, pour leur servir de témoignage. 10 Il faut premièrement que la bonne nouvelle soit prêchée à toutes les nations. 11 Quand on vous emmènera pour vous livrer, ne vous inquiétez pas d’avance de ce que vous aurez à dire, mais dites ce qui vous sera donné à l’heure même; car ce n’est pas vous qui parlerez, mais l’Esprit-Saint. 12 Le frère livrera son frère à la mort, et le père son enfant; les enfants se soulèveront contre leurs parents, et les feront mourir. 13 Vous serez haïs de tous, à cause de mon nom, mais celui qui persévérera jusqu’à la fin sera sauvé.

14 Lorsque vous verrez l’abomination de la désolation établie là où elle ne doit pas être – que celui qui lit fasse attention – alors, que ceux qui seront en Judée fuient dans les montagnes; 15 que celui qui sera sur le toit ne descende pas et n’entre pas pour prendre quelque chose dans sa maison; 16 et que celui qui sera dans les champs ne retourne pas en arrière pour prendre son manteau. 17 Malheur aux femmes qui seront enceintes et à celles qui allaiteront en ces jours-là! 18 Priez pour que ces choses n’arrivent pas en hiver. 19 Car la détresse, en ces jours, sera telle qu’il n’y en a point eu de semblable depuis le commencement du monde que Dieu a créé jusqu’à présent, et qu’il n’y en aura jamais. 20 Et, si le Seigneur n’avait abrégé ces jours, personne ne serait sauvé; mais il les a abrégés, à cause des élus qu’il a choisis. 21 Si quelqu’un vous dit alors: Le Christ est ici, ou: Il est là, ne le croyez pas. 22 Car il s’élèvera de faux christs et de faux prophètes; ils feront des prodiges et des miracles pour séduire les élus, s’il était possible. 23 Soyez sur vos gardes: je vous ai tout annoncé d’avance. 24 Mais dans ces jours, après cette détresse, le soleil s’obscurcira, la lune ne donnera plus sa lumière, 25 les étoiles tomberont du ciel, et les puissances qui sont dans les cieux seront ébranlées. 26 Alors on verra le Fils de l’homme venant sur les nuées avec une grande puissance et avec gloire. 27 Alors il enverra les anges, et il rassemblera les élus des quatre vents, de l’extrémité de la terre jusqu’à l’extrémité du ciel. 28 Instruisez-vous par une comparaison tirée du figuier. Dès que ses branches deviennent tendres, et que les feuilles poussent, vous savez que l’été est proche. 29 De même, quand vous verrez ces choses arriver, sachez que le Fils de l’homme est proche, à la porte. 30 Je vous le dis en vérité, cette génération ne passera point, que tout cela n’arrive. 31 Le ciel et la terre passeront, mais mes paroles ne passeront point.

32 Pour ce qui est du jour ou de l’heure, personne ne le sait, ni les anges dans le ciel, ni le Fils, mais le Père seul. 33 Prenez garde, veillez et priez; car vous ne savez quand ce temps viendra. 34 Il en sera comme d’un homme qui, partant pour un voyage, laisse sa maison, remet l’autorité à ses serviteurs, indique à chacun sa tâche, et ordonne au portier de veiller. 35 Veillez donc, car vous ne savez quand viendra le maître de la maison, ou le soir, ou au milieu de la nuit, ou au chant du coq, ou le matin; 36 craignez qu’il ne vous trouve endormis, à son arrivée soudaine. 37 Ce que je vous dis, je le dis à tous: Veillez.

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!”
