Mark 13:9-13

Watch and Endure: Temple Judgment, Gospel Witness, Tribulation, the Son of Man, and Readiness

Mark 13 moves from Jesus' prediction of temple destruction, to warnings against deception, persecution, and premature alarm, to gospel witness among all nations, to the abomination and urgent flight from Judea, to tribulation and false christs, to cosmic signs and the coming of the Son of Man, and finally to watchfulness because the exact day and hour are unknown.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

9So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.

10And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

11But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

12Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

13You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
