Mark 13:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 13:6

4 ^a“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: ^a“Take heed that no one deceives you.

6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

8 For nation will rise against nation, and ^akingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines¹ and troubles. ^bThese are the beginnings of sorrows.

9 “But ^awatch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will¹ be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them.

10 And ^athe gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
