MODERN LITERAL VERSION

13:1 And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, behold, what sort of stones and what sort of buildings are here.


13:2 And Jesus answering, said to him, Do you see these great buildings? One stone may not be left upon another stone, which may not be torn-down.


13:3 And as he sat upon the Mountain of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

13:4 Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign whenever all these things are about to be accomplished?


13:5 And Jesus answering, began to say to them, Beware, do not let anyone mislead you*.

13:6 For* many will come in my name, saying, I am he, and may mislead many.

13:7 And whenever you* hear of wars and reports of wars, do not be alarmed; for* it is essential for these things to happen, but the end is not yet.

13:8 For* nation will arise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be earthquakes in different places; there will be famines and disturbances. These things are the beginnings of travail.

13:9 But you* yourselves, beware, they will give you* up to councils, and you* will be whipped in synagogues and you* will be led before governors and kings, because of me, *for a testimony to them.

13:10 And it is essential for the good-news to first be preached to all the nations.

13:11 But whenever they lead you* to judgment and are giving you* up, do not be anxious beforehand what you* should speak, nor meditate on an answer but whatever is given to you* in that hour, speak that. It is not you* who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

13:12 And brother will give up brother to death and the father against his child, and children will stand up against parents and will put them to death.

13:13 And you* will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who has endured to the end, this one will be saved.


13:14 But whenever you* behold the abomination of desolation which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not to be (let him who is reading perceive), then let those who are in Judea escape to the mountains;

13:15 and let him who is upon the housetop not go down into the house, nor let him enter in to take anything out of his house;

13:16 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment.

13:17 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing in those days!

13:18 And you* pray that* your* escape might not happen in the winter.

13:19 For* in those days will be affliction, such-as there has not happened from the beginning of the creation which God created until now and may never* happen again.

13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved, but because of the chosen, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

13:21 And then if anyone says to you*, Behold, here is the Christ; or, Behold, there; do not believe it;

13:22 for* there will arise false Christs and false prophets and will give signs and wonders, to this end, if possible, that they may mislead even the chosen.

13:23 But you* , beware. Behold, I have told you* all things beforehand.
{Mk 13:24-37 & Mt 24:29-51 & Lk 21:25-28 & 2Th 1:7-9 Second Coming.}


13:24 But in those days, after that affliction, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her radiance,

13:25 and the stars will be falling from the heaven and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

13:26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with much power and glory.

13:27 And then he will send forth his messengers and will gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the tip of the earth to the tip of heaven.
{Mk 13:28-31 & Mt 24:32-35 & Lk 21:29-33 Destruction of Jerusalem AD 70.}


13:28 Now learn from the fig tree her parable: whenever her branch has already become tender and its leaves may have sprung forth, you* know that the summer is near;

13:29 so also you*, whenever you* see these things happening, know that it is near, even at the doors.

13:30 Assuredly I say to you*, This generation may never* pass away, till all these things should happen.

13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words may never* pass away.
{Mk 13:32-37 & Mt 24:36-44 & Lk 21:34-36 Second Coming.}


13:32 But no one knows concerning that day or hour, not even the messengers in heaven, neither the Son, except the Father only.

13:33 Beware, watch and pray; for* you* do not know when the time is.

13:34 It is like a man, going abroad, having left his house and given authority to his bondservants and his work to each one, and he commanded the doorkeeper that* he should watch.

13:35 Therefore watch; for* you* do not know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening or midnight or rooster's crowing or in the morning;

13:36 lest coming suddenly he may find you* sleeping.

13:37 And what I say to you*, I say to all, Watch!
{Mt 24:45-51 & Lk 21:37} {Mt 25:1-46 Mountain of Olives, Tues.}
{Mk 14:1-2 & Mt 26:1-5 & Lk 22:1-2 mountain Olives, Bethany, Jerusalem, Tues. Evening, Wed. for the Jews.}
