Marcos 13
La Biblia de las Américas
Profecía sobre la destrucción del templo
13 (A)Cuando salía del templo, uno de sus discípulos le dijo*: Maestro, ¡mira qué[a] piedras y qué[b] edificios! 2 Y Jesús le dijo: ¿Ves estos grandes edificios? No quedará piedra sobre piedra(B) que no sea derribada.
Señales antes del fin
3 Y estando Él sentado en el monte de los Olivos(C), frente al templo, Pedro, Jacobo[c], Juan(D) y Andrés le preguntaban en privado: 4 Dinos, ¿cuándo sucederá[d] esto, y qué señal[e] habrá cuando todas estas cosas se hayan de cumplir? 5 Y Jesús comenzó a decirles: Mirad que nadie os engañe. 6 Muchos vendrán en mi nombre diciendo: «Yo soy(E) el Cristo», y engañarán a muchos. 7 Y cuando oigáis de guerras y de rumores de guerras, no os alarméis; es necesario que todo esto suceda, pero todavía no es el fin. 8 Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino; y habrá terremotos en diversos lugares; y habrá hambres. Esto solo es el comienzo de dolores[f].
9 Pero estad alerta[g]; porque os entregarán a los tribunales[h] y seréis azotados en las sinagogas(F), y compareceréis delante de gobernadores y reyes por mi causa, para testimonio a ellos. 10 Pero primero el evangelio debe ser predicado a todas las naciones(G). 11 (H)Y cuando os lleven y os entreguen, no os preocupéis de antemano por lo que vais a decir, sino que lo que os sea dado en aquella hora, eso hablad; porque no sois vosotros los que habláis, sino el Espíritu Santo. 12 Y el hermano entregará a la muerte al hermano, y el padre al hijo; y los hijos se levantarán contra los padres, y les causarán la muerte[i]. 13 Y seréis odiados de todos por causa de mi nombre(I), pero el que persevere hasta el fin, ese será salvo.
La abominación de la desolación
14 Mas cuando veáis la abominación de la desolación(J) puesta donde no debe estar (el que lea, que entienda), entonces los que estén en Judea huyan a los montes(K); 15 y el que esté en la azotea, no baje ni entre a sacar nada de su casa(L); 16 y el que esté en el campo, no vuelva atrás a tomar su capa. 17 Pero, ¡ay de las que estén encinta y de las que estén criando en aquellos días! 18 Orad para que esto no suceda en el invierno. 19 Porque aquellos días serán de tribulación, tal como no ha acontecido desde el principio de la creación(M) que hizo[j] Dios hasta ahora, ni acontecerá jamás. 20 Y si el Señor no hubiera acortado aquellos[k] días, nadie[l] se salvaría; pero por causa de los escogidos[m] que Él eligió[n], acortó los días. 21 Entonces, si alguno os dice: «Mirad, aquí está el Cristo[o]», o: «Mirad, allí está», no le creáis. 22 Porque se levantarán falsos Cristos y falsos profetas(N), y mostrarán señales[p] y prodigios(O) a fin de extraviar, de ser posible, a los escogidos[q]. 23 Mas vosotros, estad alerta; ved que os lo he dicho todo de antemano.
La venida del Hijo del Hombre
24 Pero en aquellos días, después de esa tribulación, el sol se oscurecerá y la luna no dará su luz(P), 25 las estrellas irán cayendo del cielo y las potencias que están en los cielos serán sacudidas(Q). 26 Entonces verán al Hijo del Hombre(R) que viene en las nubes con gran poder y gloria(S). 27 Y entonces enviará a los ángeles, y reunirá a sus escogidos[r] de los cuatro vientos(T), desde el extremo de la tierra hasta el extremo del cielo(U).
Parábola de la higuera
28 De la higuera aprended la parábola: cuando su rama ya se pone tierna y echa las hojas, sabéis que el verano está cerca. 29 Así también vosotros, cuando veáis que suceden estas cosas, sabed que Él está cerca[s], a las puertas. 30 En verdad os digo que no pasará esta generación hasta que todo esto suceda. 31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, mas mis palabras no pasarán. 32 Pero de aquel día o de aquella hora nadie sabe, ni siquiera los ángeles en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino solo el Padre(V).
Exhortación a velar
33 Estad alerta, velad(W); porque no sabéis cuándo es el tiempo señalado. 34 Es como un hombre que se fue de viaje, y al salir de su casa dejó a sus siervos encargados[t], asignándole a cada uno su tarea, y ordenó al portero que estuviera alerta(X). 35 Por tanto, velad(Y), porque no sabéis cuándo viene el señor de la casa, si al atardecer, o a la medianoche, o al canto del gallo(Z), o al amanecer(AA); 36 no sea que venga de repente y os halle dormidos(AB). 37 Y lo que a vosotros digo, a todos lo digo: ¡Velad(AC)!

Jesús predice la destrucción del templo
(Mt. 24.1-2; Lc. 21.5-6)
13 Saliendo Jesús del templo, le dijo uno de sus discípulos: Maestro, mira qué piedras, y qué edificios. 2 Jesús, respondiendo, le dijo: ¿Ves estos grandes edificios? No quedará piedra sobre piedra, que no sea derribada.
Señales antes del fin
(Mt. 24.3-28; Lc. 21.7-24; 17.22-24)
3 Y se sentó en el monte de los Olivos, frente al templo. Y Pedro, Jacobo, Juan y Andrés le preguntaron aparte: 4 Dinos, ¿cuándo serán estas cosas? ¿Y qué señal habrá cuando todas estas cosas hayan de cumplirse? 5 Jesús, respondiéndoles, comenzó a decir: Mirad que nadie os engañe; 6 porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy el Cristo; y engañarán a muchos. 7 Mas cuando oigáis de guerras y de rumores de guerras, no os turbéis, porque es necesario que suceda así; pero aún no es el fin. 8 Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino; y habrá terremotos en muchos lugares, y habrá hambres y alborotos; principios de dolores son estos.
9 Pero mirad por vosotros mismos; porque os entregarán a los concilios, y en las sinagogas os azotarán; y delante de gobernadores y de reyes os llevarán por causa de mí, para testimonio a ellos. 10 Y es necesario que el evangelio sea predicado antes a todas las naciones. 11 Pero cuando os trajeren para entregaros, no os preocupéis por lo que habéis de decir, ni lo penséis, sino lo que os fuere dado en aquella hora, eso hablad; porque no sois vosotros los que habláis, sino el Espíritu Santo.(A) 12 Y el hermano entregará a la muerte al hermano, y el padre al hijo; y se levantarán los hijos contra los padres, y los matarán. 13 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por causa de mi nombre; mas el que persevere hasta el fin, este será salvo.(B)
14 Pero cuando veáis la abominación desoladora(C) de que habló el profeta Daniel, puesta donde no debe estar (el que lee, entienda), entonces los que estén en Judea huyan a los montes. 15 El que esté en la azotea, no descienda a la casa, ni entre para tomar algo de su casa; 16 y el que esté en el campo, no vuelva atrás a tomar su capa.(D) 17 Mas ¡ay de las que estén encintas, y de las que críen en aquellos días! 18 Orad, pues, que vuestra huida no sea en invierno; 19 porque aquellos días serán de tribulación(E) cual nunca ha habido desde el principio de la creación que Dios creó, hasta este tiempo, ni la habrá. 20 Y si el Señor no hubiese acortado aquellos días, nadie sería salvo; mas por causa de los escogidos que él escogió, acortó aquellos días. 21 Entonces si alguno os dijere: Mirad, aquí está el Cristo; o, mirad, allí está, no le creáis. 22 Porque se levantarán falsos Cristos y falsos profetas, y harán señales y prodigios, para engañar, si fuese posible, aun a los escogidos. 23 Mas vosotros mirad; os lo he dicho todo antes.
La venida del Hijo del Hombre
(Mt. 24.29-35,42-44; Lc. 21.25-36)
24 Pero en aquellos días, después de aquella tribulación, el sol se oscurecerá, y la luna no dará su resplandor, 25 y las estrellas caerán del cielo,(F) y las potencias que están en los cielos serán conmovidas. 26 Entonces verán al Hijo del Hombre, que vendrá en las nubes(G) con gran poder y gloria. 27 Y entonces enviará sus ángeles, y juntará a sus escogidos de los cuatro vientos, desde el extremo de la tierra hasta el extremo del cielo.
28 De la higuera aprended la parábola: Cuando ya su rama está tierna, y brotan las hojas, sabéis que el verano está cerca. 29 Así también vosotros, cuando veáis que suceden estas cosas, conoced que está cerca, a las puertas. 30 De cierto os digo, que no pasará esta generación hasta que todo esto acontezca. 31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán.
32 Pero de aquel día y de la hora nadie sabe, ni aun los ángeles que están en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino el Padre.(H) 33 Mirad, velad y orad; porque no sabéis cuándo será el tiempo. 34 Es como el hombre que yéndose lejos, dejó su casa, y dio autoridad a sus siervos, y a cada uno su obra, y al portero mandó que velase.(I) 35 Velad, pues, porque no sabéis cuándo vendrá el señor de la casa; si al anochecer, o a la medianoche, o al canto del gallo, o a la mañana; 36 para que cuando venga de repente, no os halle durmiendo. 37 Y lo que a vosotros digo, a todos lo digo: Velad.

New International Version
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)

New King James Version
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!”
2 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)
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, (E)Peter, (F)James, (G)John, and (H)Andrew asked Him privately, 4 (I)“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”
5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: (J)“Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. 7 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. 8 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.
9 “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!”

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
13 (A)And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? (B)There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”
Signs of the End of the Age
3 And as he sat on (C)the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, (D)Peter and James and John and (E)Andrew asked him (F)privately, 4 “Tell us, (G)when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, (H)“See that no one leads you astray. 6 (I)Many will come in my name, saying, (J)‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, (K)do not be alarmed. This (L)must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For (M)nation will rise against nation, and (N)kingdom against kingdom. There will be (O)earthquakes in various places; there will be (P)famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.
9 (Q)“But (R)be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten (S)in synagogues, and you will stand before (T)governors and (U)kings for my sake, (V)to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed (W)to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, (X)do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say (Y)whatever is given you in that hour, (Z)for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 (AA)And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 (AB)And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. (AC)But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
The Abomination of Desolation
14 “But when you see (AD)the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be ((AE)let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 (AF)Let the one who is on (AG)the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything out, 16 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 17 And (AH)alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not happen in winter. 19 For in those days there will be (AI)such (AJ)tribulation as has not been (AK)from the beginning of the creation that (AL)God created until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for (AM)the sake of the elect, whom (AN)he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And (AO)then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 (AP)For false christs and false prophets will arise and (AQ)perform signs and wonders, (AR)to lead astray, if possible, (AS)the elect. 23 But (AT)be on guard; (AU)I have told you all things beforehand.
The Coming of the Son of Man
24 “But in those days, after (AV)that tribulation, (AW)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and (AX)the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see (AY)the Son of Man coming in clouds (AZ)with great power and glory. 27 And then (BA)he will send out the angels and (BB)gather (BC)his elect from (BD)the four winds, from (BE)the ends of the earth (BF)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 out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, (BG)at the very gates. 30 (BH)Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 (BI)Heaven and earth will pass away, but (BJ)my words will not pass away.
No One Knows That Day or Hour
32 “But concerning that day or that hour, (BK)no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, (BL)nor the Son, (BM)but only the Father. 33 (BN)Be on guard, (BO)keep awake.[a] For you do not know when the time will come. 34 (BP)It is like a man (BQ)going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants[b] in charge, (BR)each with his work, and commands (BS)the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 (BT)Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, (BU)in the evening, or (BV)at midnight, or (BW)when the rooster crows,[c] or (BX)in the morning— 36 lest (BY)he come suddenly and (BZ)find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: (CA)Stay awake.”
