Mark 13:14-37

14“But 1whenG3752 you seeG3708 the 2abominationG946 of desolationG2050 standingG2476 whereG3699 it shouldG1163 not be (let the readerG314 understandG3539), thenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2453 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735. 153The oneG3739 whoG3588 is on the housetopG1430 must not goG2597 downG2597, orG3366 goG2597 in to getG142 anythingG5100 out of his houseG3614; 16and the oneG3739 whoG3588 is in the fieldG68 must not turnG1994 backG3694G1994 to getG142 his coatG2440. 17But woeG3759 to thoseG3588 who are pregnantG1064 and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250! 18But prayG4336 that it may not happenG1096 in the winterG5494. 19For thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be a time of tribulationG2347 suchG3634 as has not occurredG1096 4sinceG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937 whichG3739 GodG2316 createdG2936 untilG2193 nowG3568, and neverG3756G3361 will. 20UnlessG1487 the LordG2962 had shortenedG2856 those daysG2250, noG3756G3956 5lifeG4561 would have been savedG4982; but for the sakeG1223 of the 6electG1588, whomG3739 He choseG1586, He shortenedG2856 the daysG2250. 21And thenG5119 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2396, hereG5602 is 7the ChristG5547’; or, ‘BeholdG2396, He is thereG1563’; do not believeG4100 him; 22for falseG5580 ChristsG5580 and 8falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will ariseG1453, and will showG4160 910signsG4592 and 11wondersG5059, in orderG4314 to leadG635 astrayG635, ifG1487 possibleG1415, the electG1588. 23But takeG991 heedG991; beholdG2400, I have toldG4275 you everythingG3956 in advanceG4275.

24“But in thoseG1565 daysG2250, afterG3326 that tribulationG2347, 12the sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654 and the moonG4582 will not giveG1325 its lightG5338, 2513and the starsG792 will be fallingG4098 from heavenG3772, and the powersG1411 that are in 14the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 26ThenG5119 they will seeG3708 15the SonG5207 of ManG444 16comingG2064 in cloudsG3507 with greatG4183 powerG1411 and gloryG1391. 27And thenG5119 He will sendG649 forthG649 the angelsG32, and 17will gatherG1996 togetherG1996 His 18electG1588 from the fourG5064 windsG417, 19from the farthestG206 endG206 of the earthG1093 to the farthestG206 endG206 of heavenG3772.

28“NowG1161 learnG3129 the parableG3850 from the figG4808 treeG4808: whenG3752 its branchG2798 has alreadyG2235 becomeG1096 tenderG527 and putsG1631 forthG1631 its leavesG5444, you knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nearG1451. 29Even soG3779, you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778 happeningG1096, 20recognizeG1097 that 21He is nearG1451, right at the 22doorG2374. 30TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 23generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG3360 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 takeG1096 placeG1096. 31HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928. 3224But of that dayG2250 orG2228 hourG5610 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609, not evenG3761 the angelsG32 in heavenG3772, norG3761 the SonG5207, but the FatherG3962 alone.

33“TakeG991 heedG991, 25keepG69 on the alertG69; for you do not knowG3609 whenG4219 the appointed timeG2540 26will comeG1510. 3427It is likeG5613 a manG444 awayG590 on a journeyG590, who upon leavingG863 his houseG3614 and 28puttingG1325 his slavesG1401 in chargeG1849, assigning to eachG1538 oneG1538 his taskG2041, alsoG2532 commandedG1781 the doorkeeperG2377 to stayG1127 on the alertG1127. 35ThereforeG3767, 29be on the alertG1127--for you do not knowG3609 whenG4219 the 30masterG2962 of the houseG3614 is comingG2064, whetherG2228 in the eveningG3796, at midnightG3317, orG2228 31whenG4219 the roosterG219 crowsG219, orG2228 32in the morningG4404-- 36in caseG3361 he should comeG2064 suddenlyG1810 and findG2147 you 33asleepG2518. 37WhatG3739 I sayG3004 to you I sayG3004 to allG3956, ‘34Be on the alertG1127!’”
