| for my name's sake. | for my name's sake. | ||||
| 18 | But not a hair of your head | ||||
| will perish. | |||||
| 11 | And many false prophets | ||||
| will arise | |||||
| and lead many astray. | |||||
| 12 | And because | ||||
| wickedness is multiplied, | |||||
| most men's love | |||||
| will grow cold. | |||||

| will be preached* | |||||
| throughout the whole world, | |||||
| as a testimony | |||||

**Note: This cluster of warnings is presented in two versions by both Matthew & Luke but only once by Mark. Mark 13:9-13 is presented here twice to facilitate verbal comparison with both Matthean & Lukan versions. Note that in wording Mark 13:9-13 is in many details closer to the 1st Matthean & 2nd Lukan versions but in narrative sequence it is parallel to the 2nd version in the other two synoptic gospels.
