新約聖經 和合本
馬可福音 第十三章
1耶穌從殿裡出來的時候,有一個門徒對他說:夫子,請看,這是何等的石頭!何等的殿宇!
2耶穌對他說:你看見這大殿宇麼﹖將來在這裡沒有一塊石頭留在石頭上,不被拆毀了。
3耶穌在橄欖山上對聖殿而坐,彼得、雅各、約翰,和安得烈暗暗的問他說:
4請告訴我們,甚麼時候有這些事呢﹖這一切事將成的時候有甚麼豫兆呢﹖
5耶穌說:你們要謹慎,免得有人迷惑你們。
6將來有好些人冒我的名來,說:我是基督,並且要迷惑許多人。
7你們聽見打仗和打仗的風聲,不要驚慌。這些事是必須有的,只是末期還沒有到。
8民要攻打民,國要攻打國;多處必有地震、饑荒。這都是災難(災難:原文是生產之難 )的起頭。
9但你們要謹慎;因為人要把你們交給公會,並且你們在會堂裡要受鞭打,又為我的緣故站在諸侯與君王面前,對他們作見證。
10然而,福音必須先傳給萬民。
11人把你們拉去交官的時候,不要豫先思慮說甚麼;到那時候,賜給你們甚麼話,你們就說甚麼;因為說話的不是你們,乃是聖靈。
12弟兄要把弟兄,父親要把兒子,送到死地;兒女要起來與父母為敵,害死他們;
13並且你們要為我的名被眾人恨惡。惟有忍耐到底的,必然得救。
14你們看見那行毀壞可憎的,站在不當站的地方(讀這經的人須要會意 )。那時,在猶太的,應當逃到山上;
15在房上的,不要下來,也不要進去拿家裡的東西;
16在田裡的,也不要回去取衣裳。
17當那些日子,懷孕的和奶孩子的有禍了!
18你們應當祈求,叫這些事不在冬天臨到。
19因為在那些日子必有災難,自從神創造萬物直到如今,並沒有這樣的災難,後來也必沒有。
20若不是主減少那日子,凡有血氣的,總沒有一個得救的;只是為主的選民,他將那日子減少了。
21那時若有人對你們說:看哪,基督在這裡,或說:基督在那裡,你們不要信!
22因為假基督、假先知將要起來,顯神蹟奇事,倘若能行,就把選民迷惑了。
23你們要謹慎。看哪,凡事我都豫先告訴你們了。
24在那些日子,那災難以後,日頭要變黑了,月亮也不放光,
25眾星要從天上墜落,天勢都要震動。
26那時,他們(馬太二十四章三十節是地上的萬族) 要看見人子有大能力、大榮耀,駕雲降臨。
27他要差遣天使,把他的選民,從四方(方:原文是風 ),從地極直到天邊,都招聚了來。
28你們可以從無花果樹學個比方:當樹枝發嫩長葉的時候,你們就知道夏天近了。
29這樣,你們幾時看見這些事成就,也該知道人子(人子:或作 神的國)近了, 正在門口了。
30我實在告訴你們,這世代還沒有過去,這些事都要成就。
31天地要廢去,我的話卻不能廢去。
32但那日子,那時辰,沒有人知道,連天上的使者也不知道,子也不知道,惟有父知道。
33你們要謹慎,儆醒祈禱,因為你們不曉得那日期幾時來到。
34這事正如一個人離開本家,寄居外邦,把權柄交給僕人,分派各人當作的工,又吩咐看門的儆醒。
35所以,你們要儆醒;因為你們不知道家主甚麼時候來,或晚上,或半夜,或雞叫,或早晨;
36恐怕他忽然來到,看見你們睡著了。
37我對你們所說的話,也是對眾人說:要儆醒!

As Jesus was leaving the Temple, one of his disciples said, "Look, Teacher! What wonderful stones and buildings!"
Jesus answered, "You see these great buildings? Not a single stone here will be left in its place; every one of them will be thrown down."
Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, across from the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him in private.
"Tell us when this will happen to show that the time has come for all these things to take place."
Jesus said to them, "Watch out, and don't let anyone fool you.
Many men, claiming to speak for me, will come and say, 'I am he!' and they will fool many people.
And don't be troubled when you hear the noise of battles close by and news of battles far away. Such things must happen, but they do not mean that the end has come.
Countries will fight each other; kingdoms will attack one another. There will be earthquakes everywhere, and there will be famines. These things are like the first pains of childbirth.
You yourselves must watch out. You will be arrested and taken to court. You will be beaten in the synagogues; you will stand before rulers and kings for my sake to tell them the Good News.
But before the end comes, the gospel must be preached to all peoples.
And when you are arrested and taken to court, do not worry ahead of time about what you are going to say; when the time comes, say whatever is then given to you. For the words you speak will not be yours; they will come from the Holy Spirit.
Men will hand over their own brothers to be put to death, and fathers will do the same to their children. Children will turn against their parents and have them put to death.
Everyone will hate you because of me. But whoever holds out to the end will be saved.
You will see 'The Awful Horror' standing in the place where he should not be." (Note to the reader: understand what this means!) "Then those who are in Judea must run away to the hills.
A man who is on the roof of his house must not lose time by going down into the house to get anything to take with him.
A man who is in the field must not go back to the house for his cloak.
How terrible it will be in those days for women who are pregnant and for mothers with little babies!
Pray to God that these things will not happen in the winter!
For the trouble of those days will be far worse than any the world has ever known from the very beginning when God created the world until the present time. Nor will there ever be anything like it again.
But the Lord has reduced the number of those days; if he had not, nobody would survive. For the sake of his chosen people, however, he has reduced those days.
Then, if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'Look, there he is!'--do not believe him.
For false Messiah and false prophets will appear. They will perform miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God's chosen people, if possible.
Be on your guard! I have told you everything ahead of time.
In the days after that time of trouble the sun will grow dark, the moon will no longer shine,
the stars will fall from heaven, and the power in space will be driven from their courses.
Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
He will send the angels out to the four corners of the earth to gather God's chosen people from one end of the world to the other.
Let the fig tree teach you a lesson. When its branches become green and tender and it starts putting out leaves, you know that summer is near.
In the same way, when you see these things happening, you will know that the time is near, ready to begin.
Remember that all these things will happen before the people now living have all died.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
No one knows, however, when that day or hour will come--neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son; only the Father knows.
Be on watch, be alert, for you do not know when the time will come.
It will be like a man who goes away from home on a trip and leave his servants in charge, after giving to each one his own work to do and after telling the doorkeeper to keep watch.
Watch, then, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming--it might be in the evening or at midnight or before dawn or at sunrise.
If he comes suddenly, he must not find you asleep.
What I say to you, then, I say to all: Watch!"
Compare yourself if you know Chinese. Verse 30 is wrong unless talking about the present. Verse 14 refers to the Awful Horror. This refers to me; and I am at Singapore not Jerusalem. This can only happen when the world medias talk about me. Verse 19 refers to God's punishment to those promoting pornography, sodomy, lesbianism, adultery and those circumcised who refuse to acknowledge the new order--that is no more circumcision. It is like the punishment at the end of time in Daniel chapter 9. It is the flood. I think the earth will part from Meditarranean Sea going through Jerusalem, under Temple Mount, to the Dead Sea. Water will rush from the sea, causing destruction mainly to Temple Mount and the new river banks. So without Jerusalem, can Jews and Palestinians fight over it ?
Compare verse 29 of both versions. English version has not translation of the Son of Man or Kingdom of God. So how can you fully understand the bible if you use only English version ?
See also Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21.
