You can find below the details:


Matthew 24:10: "And then many WILL-BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL, and will-hand one-another over, and will-hate one-another."

John 16:1: "“I-have-spoken these (things to) you in-order-that you-may not BE-CAUSED-TO-FALL."



Matthew 24:7: "For nation will-arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there-will-be famines and earthquakes in various-places."

The parallel account in Mark reads: 

Mark 13:8: "For nation will-arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There-will-be earthquakes in various-places. There-will-be famines. These (things are a) beginning (of) birth-pains."

Mark 13:9: "But you — be-watching yourselves. They-will-hand you over to councils. And you-will-be-beaten in synagogues [sünagōgas 4864 in Greek]. And you-will-be-stood before governors and kings for My sake, for (a) testimony (to) them."

John 16:2: "They-will-make you put-out-of-the-synagogue [aposünagōgous 656 in Greek] (ones). Indeed, (an) hour is-coming for everyone having-killed you to-think (that he) is-offering service (to) God."

The Greek word for "put-out-of-the-synagogue" [aposunagógos 656 in Greek, adjective] used in John 16:2 comes from the Greek word for "from" [apo 575 in Greek, preposition] and the Greek word for "synagogues" [sunagó 4864 in Greek, noun] used in Mark 13:9.



Matthew 24:9: "Then they-will-hand you over to affliction, and THEY-WILL-KILL YOU. And you-will-be being-hated by all the nations because-of My name."

John 16:2: "They-will-make you put-out-of-the-synagogue (ones). Indeed, (an) hour is-coming for everyone HAVING-KILLED YOU to-think (that he) is-offering service (to) God."




Matthew 24:14: "And this good-news (of) the kingdom will-be-proclaimed in the whole world for (a) testimony (to) all the nations. And then the end will-come."

The parallel account in Mark reads: 

Mark 13:10: "And the good-news must first be-proclaimed to all the nations."

Mark 13:11: "And whenever they-lead you (while) handing (you) over, do not be-anxious-beforehand (as to) what you-should-speak. But whatever is-given (to) YOU in that hour, speak this. For YOU are not the (ones) SPEAKING, but THE Holy SPIRIT."

John 16:13: "But when that (One), THE SPIRIT (of) truth, comes — (He) will-lead you (-in-the)-way in all the truth. For (He) WILL not SPEAK from Himself, but (He) WILL-SPEAK whatever (He) will-hear. And (He) will-declare (to) you the (things) coming."

John 16:14: "That (One) will-glorify Me, because (He) will-take from (what is) Mine and declare (it to) YOU."

In John, "the Helper" (John 15:26), "THE SPIRIT (of) truth" (John 15:27, John 16:13) is used interchangeably in John with the term "THE Holy SPIRIT" which is found in Mark 13:11, as two chapters earlier in John it reads about "the Helper — THE Holy SPIRIT" (John 14:26).




Matthew 24:9: "Then they-will-hand you over to AFFLICTION, and they-will-kill you. And you-will-be being-hated by all the nations because-of My name."

John 16:33: "“I-have-spoken these (things to) you in-order-that you-may-have peace in Me. You-have AFFLICTION in the world, but take-courage — I have-overcome the world”."
