Mark 13

The Temple Will Be Destroyed

(Matthew 24.1,2; Luke 21.5,6)

1As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these beautiful stones and wonderful buildings!”

2Jesus replied, “Do you see these huge buildings? They will certainly be torn down! Not one stone will be left in place.”

Warning about Trouble

(Matthew 24.3-14; Luke 21.7-19)

3Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him in private.

4They asked, “When will these things happen? What will be the sign that they are about to take place?”[#2 Esd 4.51—5.19.]

5Jesus answered:

The Horrible Thing

“The sun will become dark,

and the moon

will no longer shine.

25The stars will fall,[#Is 34.4; Rev 6.13; Jl 2.10.]

and the powers in the sky

will be shaken.”
