Mark 13 — Douay-Rheims Bible

And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here.● And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.● And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:● Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?● And Jesus answering, began to say to them: Take heed lest any man deceive you.● For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many.● And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be: but the end is not yet.● For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.● But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you Up to councils: and in the synagogues you shall be beaten: and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.● And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.● And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.● And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against their parents and shall work their death.● And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.● And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains.● And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house.● And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up his garment.● And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days.● But pray ye that these things happen not in winter.● For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now: neither shall be.● And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but, for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.● And then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ. Lo, he is here: do not believe.● For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets: and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect.● Take you heed therefore: behold, I have foretold you all things.● But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light.● And the stars of heaven shall be falling down and the powers that are in heaven shall be moved.● And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.● And then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.● Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near.● So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors.● Amen, I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all these things be done.● Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass away.● But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.● Take ye heed, watch and pray. For ye know not when the time is.● Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter to watch.● Watch ye therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning):● Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.● And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.●
