Mark 13:1-10

New American Standard Bible

Things to Come

13 ^(A)As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples *said to Him, “Teacher, look! ^[a]What wonderful stones and ^[b]what wonderful buildings!” ²And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? ^(B)Not one stone will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”

³As He was sitting on ^(C)the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, ^(D)Peter, ^[c]James, John, and Andrew were questioning Him privately, ⁴“Tell us, when will these things come about, and what will be the ^[d]sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?” ⁵And Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. ⁶Many will come in My name, saying, ‘^(E)I am He!’ and they will mislead many. ⁷When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. ⁸For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are only the beginning of birth pains.

⁹“But ^[e]be on your guard; for they will ^(F)hand you over to the ^[f]courts, and you will be flogged ^(G)in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. ¹⁰^(H)And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
