SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:8
Porque gente se levantar contra gente, y reino contra reino; y habr terremotos en cada lugar, y habr hambres y alborotos; principios de dolores sern stos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 13:8
Verse 8. The beginnings] For arcai, many MSS. and versions have arch, the beginning, singular.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. For nation shall rise against nation , etc..] The nations of the world one against another, and the Romans against the Jews, and the Jews against them: and kingdom against kingdom ; which is a synonymous phrase with the former, and what the Jews call, twnw twlm , different words, expressing the same thing, often used in their commentaries: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places ; of the world: and there shall be famines : especially in Judea, as in the times of Claudius Caesar, and at the siege of Jerusalem: and troubles ; public ones of various sorts, as tumults, seditions, murders, etc.. This word is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, and Ethiopic versions. These are the beginnings of sorrows ; as of a woman with child, as the word signifies; whose pains before, though they are the beginnings and pledges of what shall come after, are not to be compared with those that immediately precede, and attend the birth of the child: and so all those troubles, which should be some time before the destruction of Jerusalem, would be but small, but light afflictions, the beginning of sorrows, in comparison of what should immediately go before, and attend that desolation; (see Gill on Matthew 24:7), (see Gill on Matthew 24:8).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-13 - Our Lord Jesus, in reply to the disciples' question, does not so muc satisfy their curiosity as direct their consciences. When many ar deceived, we should thereby be awakened to look to ourselves. And the disciples of Christ, if it be not their own fault, may enjoy holy security and peace of mind, when all around is in disorder. But the must take heed that they are not drawn away from Christ and their duty to him, by the sufferings they will meet with for his sake. They shal be hated of all men: trouble enough! Yet the work they were called to should be carried on and prosper. Though they may be crushed and born down, the gospel cannot be. The salvation promised is more tha deliverance from evil, it is everlasting blessedness.
