The chapter records Jesus's apocalyptic discourse delivered to four disciples on the Mount of Olives, prompted by his prediction that the Jerusalem Temple would be utterly destroyed. Jesus outlines a sequence of end-time signs: false messiahs, wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution of believers, and the \"abomination of desolation\" standing where it should not \u2014 followed by cosmic disturbances (sun darkened, stars falling) and the triumphant return of the Son of Man to gather the elect. A distinctive feature of this passage is the tension between signs that seem to point to imminent fulfillment (\"this generation shall not pass\") and the explicit claim that no one \u2014 not angels, not even the Son \u2014 knows the day or hour, only the Father. The text closes with an urgent parable of a householder's absent master, culminating in the repeated command to \"watch.\" The parallel-text format, with Strong's numbers embedded in the KJV column, suggests this is a study Bible resource aimed at readers doing word-level comparison across the Greek, English, and Latin traditions.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Mark: Mark 13","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2117}
