OET MARK chapter 13

Literal Version

13:1 Yeshua predicts total destruction of the temple

13 As they were leaving the temple area, one of Yeshua’s followers noted, “Teacher, look at these large stones and the beautiful buildings that they’ve been made into.”

2 But Yeshua responded, “Yes, incredible buildings, but the time will come when they’re torn down—not a single piece of stone will be left sitting in its place.”

13 And him going _out out _of the temple, one of _the apprentices/followers of _him is _saying to _him:
Teacher, see, what _kind _of stones and what _kind _of buildings.
2 And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) said to _him:
Are _you _seeing these the great buildings?
Stone on stone by _no _means may_ not _be _left here, which by _no _means may_ not _be _torn _down.

13:3 Yeshua talks about coming hardships

(Mat. 24:3-14, Luke 21:7-19)

3 Later when they were over on the Mount of Olives overlooking the temple, Peter and Yacob and Yohan and Andrew were with Yeshua and asked 4 when all this destruction would happen, and what indications there would be that it’s about to happen.

5 So Yeshua told them, “Be careful so that you aren’t misled by others. 6 Plenty of people will say that they’re coming under my authority, or that they’re me, and they’ll mislead many others. 7 And whenever you hear about wars or about battles about to begin, don’t be worried—these things will certainly happen, but there’s more to follow. 8 Countries will take up arms against other countries, and kingdoms against other kingdom. There’ll be earthquakes in many places and there’ll be famines, but these will be just like the beginning of birth pains.

9 [ref]“So be careful. You’ll be turned over to local councils for questioning, will be whipped in the religious meeting halls, and will be stood in front of governors and kings because of following me. But you’ll be able to present your life stories to them 10 and it’s right that the good news first[fn] be proclaimed to every country. 11 But whenever they bring you along to hand you over, don’t worry in advance about what you’re going to say to defend yourselves, but wait until the hearing proceeds and speak what you are given then, because then it won’t be you speaking, but God’s spirit. 12 In those times, a brother will report on his brother to have him executed, and a father report on his child, and children will be encouraged to report on their own parents and then they’ll be executed as a result. 13 [ref]And every one will hate you all because they hate my name, but anyone who endures to the end will be saved.

3 And of _him sitting on the Mount of_ the _Olives in _front _of the temple, Petros, and Yakōbos/(Yaˊₐqoⱱ), and Yōannaʸs, and Andreas was _asking, him by themselves, 4 Tell to _us when these things will _be, and what is the sign whenever all these things may _be _going to _be _being _completed?
5 And the Yaʸsous began to _be _saying to _them:
Be _watching _out, lest anyone may _mislead you _all.
6 Many will _be _coming in the name of _me saying, that I am he, and they _will _be _misleading many.
7 And whenever you _all _may _hear of _wars and reports of _wars, be_ not _being _alarmed, it _is _fitting to _become, but is not _yet the end.
8 For/Because nation will _be _being _raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There _will _be earthquakes in places, there _will _be famines, these are the_beginning of _birth _pains.
9 But be _watching _out you _all yourselves, they _will _be _giving_ you _all _over to councils and you _all _will _be _being _beat in synagogues, and will _be _being _stood before governors and kings on _account of _me, because/for a_testimony to _them.
10 And it _is _fitting the good _message to_ first _be _proclaimed to all the nations.
11 But whenever they _may _be _bringing you _all giving _over, be_ not _worrying _beforehand what you _all _may _speak, but whatever if may _be _given to _you _all in that the hour, this be _speaking, because/for you _all are not the ones speaking, but the the holy spirit.
12 And brother will _be _giving _over brother to death, and father child, and they _will _be _raising _up children against parents and they _will _be _putting_ them _to _death.
13 And you _all _will _be being _hated by all because _of the name of _me.
But the one having _endured to the_end, this one will _be _being _saved.

13:14 Yeshua warns about coming horror and deceptions

(Mat. 24:15-28, Luke 21:20-24)

14 [ref]“But whenever you see the most horrible thing that drives people from God, standing where it shouldn’t be (and you readers should understand this), then anyone in Yudea should flee into the hills 15 [ref]and anyone upstairs looking outside shouldn’t come down into the bedrooms to get anything, 16 and anyone working outside shouldn’t go back inside to get a change of clothes. 17 It will be extremely difficult for pregnant women and for mothers who are breast-feeding their children in those days. 18 Just pray that it won’t happen in the winter 19 [ref]because those days will be terrible like nothing that’s ever happened before, all the way back to when God created the world right until the present time, and won’t ever happen again. 20 And if the master hadn’t shortened that time, no humans would even survive, but he shortened that time so that the chosen ones could be saved.

21 So don’t believe it if you hear someone say, ‘Look, the messiah has arrived here.’ or ‘There’s the one that God has sent.’ 22 Plenty of fake messiahs and deceiving prophets will certainly come and even do things that humans can’t normally do, so much so that even the chosen ones would defect if that were possible. 23 So watch out, but I’ve warned you in advance about all of this.

14 But whenever you _all _may _see the abomination of _the desolation, having _stood where it _is_ not _fitting, let_ the one reading _be _understanding, then the ones in the Youdaia, let _them _be _fleeing to the mountains, 15 and the one on the housetop, let_ not _come _down, nor let _come _in to _take _away anything out _of the house of _him, 16 and the one in the field, him _let_ not _return back to the things to _take _away the garment of _him.
17 But woe to _the women having child in womb and to _the women nursing in those the days.
18 But be _praying that it _may_ not _become in_the_winter.
19 For/Because the those days will _be tribulation, such _as has_ not _become such, from the_beginning of _creation which the god created, until the time now, and by _no _means may_ not _become.
20 And except not/lest the_master shortened the days, no any flesh would was _saved.
But because _of the chosen, whom he _chose, he _shortened the days.
21 And then if anyone may _say to _you _all:
Behold, here is the chosen _one /messiah, or Or _see, there, be_ not _believing it.
22 For/Because false _messiahs and false _prophets will _be _being _raised, and they _will _be _giving signs and wonders, because/for that the chosen ones if possible to _be _wandering _away.
23 But you _all be _watching _out, see, I _have _previously _spoken all things to _you _all.

13:24 The universe collapses as the son arrives

(Mat. 24:29-31, Luke 21:25-28)

24 [ref]“After those very difficult times, the sun will go dark and the moon won’t shine at night. 25 [ref]The stars will fall down out of the sky and the powers in the heavens will be shaken up. 26 [ref]Then the people will see humanity’s child in the clouds coming with incredible power and brightness. 27 He’ll send the messengers out to collect all the chosen people from the four corners of the world, from everywhere between the earth and the sky.

24 But in those the days, after the that tribulation:
the sun will _be _being _darkened, and the moon will_ not _be _giving the radiance of _it, 25 and the stars will _be falling out _of of _the sky, and the powers which in the heavens will _be _being _shaken.
26 And then they _will _be _seeing the son of_ the _man coming in the_clouds, with great power.
and glory.
27 And then he _will _be _sending _out the messengers and he _will _be _gathering _together the chosen ones of _him from the four winds, from extremity of_the_earth to extremity of _heaven.

13:28 Watch out for the change in season

(Mat. 24:32-35, Luke 21:29-33)

28 “So learn a lesson from fig trees—whenever the branches green up and start sprouting leaves and then everyone knows that summer is close. 29 So too whenever you see all these things happening, you know that the end of this current world is close. 30 I can assure you that the generation of people who see these things won’t die off before these latter things happen. 31 The sky and the planet might collapse, but my teachings will never become irrelevant.

28 And learn the parable of the fig _tree:
whenever the branch of _it may _become already tender, and may _be _sprouting _out the leaves, you _all _are _knowing that the summer is near.
29 Thus also you _all, whenever you _all _may _see these things becoming, you _all _are _knowing that it _is near at doors.
30 Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all that by _no _means the this generation may_ not _pass _away, until that all these things may _become.
31 The heaven and the earth will _be _passing _away, but the the_messages of _me by _no _means will_ not _be _passing _away.

13:32 Stay alert for the coming of the master

(Mat. 24:36-44)

32 [ref]“But as for the date or time when all this will happen, only the father knows that—even the son and messengers don’t know. 33 So watch out, observe current events, and be praying, because you won’t know exactly when all this will happen. 34 [ref]It can all be compared to a man who was about to leave his house and go on a trip. Before he leaves, he gives certain jobs and responsibilities to his various slaves, and instructs his security guard to stay alert. 35 So you all watch and stay alert, because you don’t know when the master of the house might return—perhaps one evening or at midnight, or at dawn or maybe mid-morning. 36 You certainly don’t want to be caught napping when he comes. 37 And what I’m telling you now, I tell everyone: stay alert and watch.”
