[영어 성경] Mark chapter 13

Mk. 13:1 As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him,

“Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent

buildings!”

Mk. 13:2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not

one stone here will be left on another; every one will be

thrown down.”

Mk. 13:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the

temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately,

Mk. 13:4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the

sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”

Mk. 13:5 Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no-one deceives you.

Mk. 13:6 Many will come in my name, claiming, `I am he,’ and will

deceive many.

Mk. 13:7 When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be

alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to

come.

127

Mk. 13:8 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.

Mk. 13:9 “You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the

local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of

me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to

them.

Mk. 13:10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

Mk. 13:11 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.

Mk. 13:12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child.

Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to

death.

Mk. 13:13 All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm

to the end will be saved.

Mk. 13:14 “When you see `the abomination that causes desolation’

[Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11] standing where it [Or he; also in

verse 29] does not belong — let the reader understand —

then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Mk. 13:15 Let no-one on the roof of his house go down or enter the

house to take anything out.

Mk. 13:16 Let no-one in the field go back to get his cloak.

Mk. 13:17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women

and nursing mothers!

Mk. 13:18 Pray that this will not take place in winter,

Mk. 13:19 because those will be days of distress unequalled from the

beginning, when God created the world, until now — and

never to be equalled again.

Mk. 13:20 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.

128

Mk. 13:21 At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!’

[Or Messiah] or, `Look, there he is!’ do not believe it.

Mk. 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform

signs and miracles to deceive the elect — if that were

possible.

Mk. 13:23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of

time.

Mk. 13:24 “But in those days, following that distress, “`the sun will be

darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

Mk. 13:25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will

be shaken.’ [Isaiah 13:10; 34:4]

Mk. 13:26 “At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds

with great power and glory.

Mk. 13:27 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.

Mk. 13:28 “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.

Mk. 13:29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know

that it is near, right at the door.

Mk. 13:30 I tell you the truth, this generation [Or race] will certainly not

pass away until all these things have happened.

Mk. 13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never

pass away.

Mk. 13:32 “No-one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels

in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Mk. 13:33 Be on guard! Be alert! [Some manuscripts: alert and pray]

You do not know when that time will come.

Mk. 13:34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his

servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the

one at the door to keep watch.

129

Mk. 13:35 “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 cock crows, or at dawn.

Mk. 13:36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.

Mk. 13:37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: `Watch!’“
