Context of Mark 13:10
8Nation will fight against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes and famines in various places. These are only the beginning pains ⌞of the end⌟. 9“Be on your guard! People will hand you over to the Jewish courts and whip you in their synagogues. You will stand in front of governors and kings to testify to them because of me. But first, the Good News must be spread to all nations. 11When they take you away to hand you over to the authorities, don’t worry ahead of time about what you will say. Instead, say whatever is given to you to say when the time comes. Indeed, you are not the one who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit will. 12“Brother will hand over brother to death; a father will hand over his child. Children will rebel against their parents and kill them.

Commentaries on Mark 13:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10And the Gospel must first be published among all nations. - Many of the Evangelistaria omit this verse. Its proper place seems to be after verse the thirteenth.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-13Verses 5-13 Our Lord Jesus, in reply to the disciples' question, does not so much satisfy their curiosity as direct their consciences. When many are deceived, we should thereby be awakened to look to ourselves. And the disciples of Christ, if it be not their own fault, may enjoy holy security and peace of mind, when all around is in disorder. But they must take heed that they are not drawn away from Christ and their duty to him, by the sufferings they…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10Such trials (13:9, 11) would be a means through which the good news about Jesus would be preached to all nations. This would all take place first (before the destruction of Jerusalem). For Paul’s understanding of how the good news had already been preached to every nation in his day, see Romans 16:26; Colossians 1:6, 23 (see also Romans 1:5, 8; 10:18; 15:19, 23).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. And the gospel must first be published among all nations--"for a witness, and then shall the end come" (Mt 24:14). God never sends judgment without previous warning; and there can be no doubt that the Jews, already dispersed over most known countries, had nearly all heard the Gospel "as a witness," before the end of the Jewish state. The same principle was repeated and will repeat itself to "the end."Read the comment
