Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Mark
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Mark
013:002 "You see all these great buildings?" Jesus replied; "not one
stone will be left here upon another--not thrown down."
013:003 He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple,
when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,
013:004 "Tell us, When will these things be? and what will be the sign
when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?"
013:005 So Jesus began to say to them: "Take care that no one misleads you.
013:006 Many will come assuming my name and saying, 'I am He;'
and they will mislead many.
013:007 But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed:
come they must, but the End is not yet.
013:008 For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places;
there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early
pains of childbirth.
013:009 "You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver
you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues
and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors
and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.
013:010 But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all
the Gentiles before the End comes.
013:011 When however they are marching you along under arrest,
do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say,
but speak what is given you when the time comes; for it
will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
013:012 "Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will
betray children; and children will rise against their parents
and have them put to death.
013:013 You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called
by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.
013:014 "As soon, however, as you see the Abomination of Desolation
standing where he ought not"--let the reader observe these
words--"then let those in Judaea escape to the hills;
013:015 let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house
to fetch anything out of it;
013:016 and let not him who is in the field turn back to pick up
his outer garment.
013:017 And alas for the women who at that time are with child
or have infants!
013:018 "But pray that it may not come in the winter.
013:019 For those will be times of suffering the like of which has
never been from the first creation of God's world until now,
and assuredly never will be again;
013:020 and but for the fact that the Lord has cut short those days,
no one would escape; but for the sake of His own People whom
He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days.
013:021 "At that time if any one says to you, 'See, here is the Christ!'
or 'See, He is there!' do not believe it.
