Mark 13:21-37

Darby Translation

²¹ And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.

²² For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

²³ But do *ye* take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

²⁴ But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;

²⁵ and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;

²⁶ and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;

²⁷ and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.

²⁸ But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

²⁹ Thus also *ye*, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.

³⁰ Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.

³¹ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

³² But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

³³ Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:

³⁴ [it is] as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.

³⁵ Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;

³⁶ lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷ But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
