But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Notes

the one who perseveres stays loyal to Jesus, even when persecuted. The end could mean the end of their life, the judgment on Israel in AD 70, or the end of history.

Some think chapter 24 is about the return of Jesus at the end of time. Others think it as a prediction of events in AD 70, when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. Some think it refers to both events. See also study notes on Mark 13.
