Mark 13:9-23

9“Watch out for yourselves! They will hand you over to the courts, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of Me, as a witness to them.

10The Good News must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

11When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Say whatever is given to you in that hour, for it is not you who speaks but the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

12Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. And children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

13And you will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end will be saved.”

14“But when you see ‘the abomination of desolation’ standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains.

15The one on the roof must not go down, nor enter to take anything out of his house.

16And the one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.

17Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

18Pray that it will not happen in winter.

19“For in those days there will be trouble such as has never happened, not since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.

20And unless Adonai had cut short those days, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He cut short the days.

21“And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here’s the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there He is!’ do not believe it.

22For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and show signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the chosen.

23So be careful! See, I have told you everything beforehand.”
