Mark Chapter 13 Verse 18‹And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.›

‹For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these› [are] ‹the beginnings of sorrows.›

‹But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.›

‹And the gospel must first be published among all nations.›

‹But when they shall lead› [you], ‹and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.›

‹Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against› [their] ‹parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.›

‹And ye shall be hated of all› [men] ‹for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.›

‹But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:›

‹And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter› [therein], ‹to take any thing out of his house:›

‹And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.›

‹But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!›

‹For› [in] ‹those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.›

‹And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.›

‹And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here› [is] ‹Christ; or, lo,› [he is] ‹there; believe› [him] ‹not:›

‹For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if› [it were] ‹possible, even the elect.›

‹But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.›

‹But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,›

‹And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.›

‹And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.›

‹And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.›

‹Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:›
