Profecía sobre la destrucción del templo
13 (A)Cuando Jesús 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: «Miren que nadie los engañe. 6 Muchos vendrán en Mi nombre diciendo: “Yo soy(E)el Cristo”, y engañarán a muchos. 7 Cuando ustedes oigan de guerras y de rumores de guerras, no se alarmen; 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 ustedes, estén alerta[g] ; porque los entregarán a los tribunales[h] y serán azotados en las sinagogas(F) , y comparecerán 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)Cuando los lleven y los entreguen, no se preocupen de antemano por lo que van a decir, sino que lo que les sea dado en aquella hora, eso hablen; porque no son ustedes los que hablan, sino el Espíritu Santo. 12 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 ustedes serán 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 »Pero cuando vean 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 a tomar su capa. 17 Pero, ¡ay de las que estén encinta y de las que estén criando en aquellos días!
18 »Oren 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 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 alguien les dice: “Miren, aquí está el Cristo[o]”, o: “Miren, allí está”, no lo crean. 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 Pero ustedes, estén alerta; vean que se 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 Él 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 aprendan la parábola: cuando su rama ya se pone tierna y echa las hojas, saben que el verano está cerca. 29 Así también ustedes, cuando vean que suceden estas cosas, sepan que Él está cerca[s], a las puertas. 30 En verdad les digo que no pasará esta generación hasta que todo esto suceda. 31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero 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 »Estén alerta, velen(W) ; porque no saben 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, velen(Y), porque no saben 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 los halle dormidos(AB). 37 Y lo que a ustedes digo, a todos digo: ¡Velen(AC)!».

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)

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.”
