And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
6 of 37
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 of 37
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
8 of 37
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
9 of 37
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
10 of 37
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
11 of 37
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
12 of 37
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
13 of 37
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
14 of 37
And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
15 of 37
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
16 of 37
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
17 of 37
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
18 of 37
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
19 of 37
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
20 of 37
And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
21 of 37
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
22 of 37
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
23 of 37
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
24 of 37
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
25 of 37
And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
26 of 37
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
27 of 37
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
28 of 37
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
29 of 37
And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
30 of 37
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
31 of 37
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.
32 of 37
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
33 of 37
So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
34 of 37
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
35 of 37
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
36 of 37
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
37 of 37
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
38 of 37
For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
39 of 37
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
40 of 37
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
41 of 37
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

  BIBLE CANON: 5
A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.

These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.

1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON 140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.

Mark was REJECTED (0%) by Marcion Canon
(No mention; no quotes; opinion unknown)
2. Muratorian Canon | BIBLE CANON 170 AD
The Muratorian Canon is an ancient list of New Testament books - the oldest such list we have found and lists 22 of the 27 books that were later included in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is noteworthy that the Muratorian Canon omits several epistles that later did win acceptance in the Christian New Testament such as the books of James and 2 Peter.

(Fully accepted; true scripture; quoted approvingly)
4. Cheltenham/ Mommsen List | BIBLE CANON 360 AD
The Cheltenham or Mommsen List is a Latin manuscript discovered by the German classical scholar Theodor Mommsen (published 1886) which probably originated in North Africa in the 4th century.

It has 24-book Old Testament and 24-book New Testament which omits Jude and James, and perhaps Hebrews, and questions the epistles of John and Peter.

5. Council of Rome | BIBLE CANON 382 AD
The Council of Rome was a meeting of Catholic Church officials and theologians which took place in 382 under the authority of Pope Damasus I, bishop of Rome.

According to a document appended to some manuscripts, the Council of Rome affirmed the authority of the Old and New Testament canon in a decretal or damasine list.

Mark 13
  TEXTUAL CRITICISM
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well

Mark 16:17 exists only in the "longer version" of Mark and was not part of the original gospel of Mark; it was added much later. This verse does not appear in the manuscript evidence in the first 300-years of the common era. The first Bible to include this verse was Codex Washingtonianus dated to the 5th century.

Therefore, 400-years after Jesus and the Bible was finalised, Christian scholars were 'inventing' entire verses and inserting them into the canon Bible.

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
