Evangelium secundum Marcum, 13

1. et cum egrederetur de templo ait illi unus ex discipulis suis magister aspice quales lapides et quales structuræ

1. And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here.

2. et respondens Jesus ait illi vides has omnes magnas ædificationes non relinquetur lapis super lapidem qui non destruatur

2. And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.

3. et cum sederet in montem Olivarum contra templum interrogabant eum separatim Petrus et Jacobus et Johannes et Andreas

3. And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:

4. dic nobis quando ista fient et quod signum erit quando hæc omnia incipient consummari

4. Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?

5. et respondens Jesus cœpit dicere illis videte ne quis vos seducat

5. And Jesus answering, began to say to them, Take heed lest any man deceive you.

6. multi enim venient in nomine meo dicentes quia ego sum et multos seducent

6. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and they shall deceive many.

7. cum audieritis autem bella et opiniones bellorum ne timueritis oportet enim fieri sed nondum finis

7. And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be, but the end is not yet.

8. exsurget autem gens super gentem et regnum super regnum et erunt terræmotus per loca et fames initium dolorum hæc

8. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.

9. videte autem vosmet ipsos tradent enim vos conciliis et in synagogis vapulabitis et ante præsides et reges stabitis propter me in testimonium illis

9. But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

10. et in omnes gentes primum oportet prædicari evangelium

10. And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.

11. et cum duxerint vos tradentes nolite præcogitare quid loquamini sed quod datum vobis fuerit in illa hora id loquimini non enim estis vos loquentes sed Spiritus Sanctus

11. And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

12. tradet autem frater fratrem in mortem et pater filium et consurgent filii in parentes et morte adficient eos

12. And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against the parents, and shall work their death.

13. et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum qui autem sustinuerit in finem hic salvus erit

13. And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.

14. cum autem videritis abominationem desolationis stantem ubi non debet qui legit intellegat tunc qui in Judæa sunt fugiant in montes

14. And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not: he that readeth let him understand: then let them that are in Judea, flee unto the mountains:

15. et qui super tectum ne descendat in domum nec intrœat ut tollat quid de domo sua

15. And let him that is on the housetop, not go down into the house, nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house:

16. et qui in agro erit non revertatur retro tollere vestimentum suum

16. And let him that shall be in the field, not turn back to take up his garment.

17. væ autem prægnatibus et nutrientibus in illis diebus

17. And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.

18. orate vero ut hieme non fiant

18. But pray ye, that these things happen not in winter.

19. erunt enim dies illi tribulationes tales quales non fuerunt ab initio creaturæ quam condidit Deus usque nunc neque fient

19. For in those days shall be such tribulations, as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be.

20. et nisi breviasset Dominus dies non fuisset salva omnis caro sed propter electos quos elegit breviavit dies

20. And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

21. et tunc si quis vobis dixerit ecce hic est Christus ecce illic ne credideritis

21. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; lo, he is here: do not believe.

22. exsurgent enim pseudochristi et pseudoprophetæ et dabunt signa et portenta ad seducendos si potest fieri etiam electos

22. For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect.

23. vos ergo videte ecce prædixi vobis omnia

23. Take you heed therefore; behold I have foretold you all things.

24. sed in illis diebus post tribulationem illam sol contenebrabitur et luna non dabit splendorem suum

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

25. et erunt stellæ cæli decidentes et virtutes quæ sunt in cælis movebuntur

25. And the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven, shall be moved.

26. et tunc videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nubibus cum virtute multa et gloria

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

27. et tunc mittet angelos suos et congregabit electos suos a quattuor ventis a summo terræ usque ad summum cæli

27. 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.

28. a ficu autem discite parabolam cum jam ramus ejus tener fuerit et nata fuerint folia cognoscitis quia in proximo sit æstas

28. Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near.

29. sic et vos cum videritis hæc fieri scitote quod in proximo sit in ostiis

29. So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors.

30. amen dico vobis quoniam non transiet generatio hæc donec omnia ista fiant

30. Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, until all these things be done.

31. cælum et terra transibunt verba autem mea non transibunt

31. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.

32. de die autem illo vel hora nemo scit neque angeli in cælo neque Filius nisi Pater

32. But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

33. videte vigilate et orate nescitis enim quando tempus sit

33. Take ye heed, watch and pray. For ye know not when the time is.

34. sicut homo qui peregre profectus reliquit domum suam et dedit servis suis potestatem cujusque operis et janitori præcipiat ut vigilet

34. Even as a man who going into a far country, left his house; and gave authority to his servants over every work, and commanded the porter to watch.

35. vigilate ergo nescitis enim quando dominus domus veniat sero an media nocte an galli cantu an mane

35. Watch ye therefor, (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh: at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning,)

36. ne cum venerit repente inveniat vos dormientes

36. Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.

37. quod autem vobis dico omnibus dico vigilate

37. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.
