Mark 13:23

¹⁷You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.

⁸He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ ^[+] and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.

²⁹Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.

⁵Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

⁷Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen. ⁸Don’t fear, neither be afraid. Haven’t I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don’t know any other Rock.”

¹⁵“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

³⁴“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

¹“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble. ²They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God. ³They will do these things^[+] because they have not known the Father nor me. ⁴But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

⁹“But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.

³³Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
