Witnessing to All Nations
9So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.10And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.11But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
And the Gospel must first be published among all nations. - Many of the Evangelistaria omit this verse. Its proper place seems to be after verse the thirteenth.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
And the gospel must first be published among all nations--"for a witness, and then shall the end come" (Mat 24:14). God never sends judgment without previous warning; and there can be no doubt that the Jews, already dispersed over most known countries, had nearly all heard the Gospel "as a witness," before the end of the Jewish state. The same principle was repeated and will repeat itself to "the end."
John Gill Bible Commentary
And the Gospel must first be published among all nations. The Syriac version reads, "my Gospel"; the Gospel which Christ was the author, subject, and preacher of; this "must be published". There was a necessity of the promulgation of it by the will of God, the command and commission of Christ; and for the gathering in of the Jews, that were the elect of God, "among all nations" of the world, especially in the Roman empire; and that "first", or before the destruction of Jerusalem; See Gill on Mat 24:14. . Mark 13:11 mar 13:11 mar 13:11 mar 13:11But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up,.... Lead to councils and courts of judicature, and deliver up to kings and rulers, to the civil magistrate, to be punished by the secular arm: take no thought before hand; be not previously anxious, and carefully solicitous, in a distressing way: what ye shall speak: to kings and rulers, by way of apology for yourselves, and your own innocence, and in defence of the Gospel: neither do ye premeditate; or "meditate", as the generality of copies read: Beza says in one copy it is read, "premeditate": and so in one of Stephens's, as we render it: this clause is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour; whatever shall be immediately suggested to your thoughts, be put into your minds, and laid upon your hearts: that speak ye; freely and boldly without the fear of men: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost: not but that they did speak, but they were not the principal authors, either of the matter they spoke, or of the words and language in which they spoke; they were only the instruments of the Holy Ghost; they spoke as they were moved by him: hence their wisdom and eloquence in their self-defence, were amazing, and their arguments strong and unanswerable; See Gill on Mat 10:19, Mat 10:20,
Tyndale Open Study Notes
13:10 Such trials (13:9, 11) would be a means through which the Good News would be preached to all nations. This would all take place first—i.e., before the destruction of Jerusalem. For Paul’s understanding of how the Good News had already been preached to every nation in his day, see Rom 16:26; Col 1:6, 23 (see also Rom 1:5, 8; 10:18; 15:19, 23).

Despite the fear and uncertainty, the preacher reassures the audience that God has everything under control, bringing hope and faith.
What Time Is It? Christ's Coming
By F.J. Huegel2.3K49:37MAT 24:12MAT 25:1MRK 13:10JHN 8:12EPH 5:16REV 22:20In this sermon, the preacher discusses the theme of "What time is it?" referring to the position of the Son of Righteousness according to God's clock. He mentions that there are signs indicating that it is very late, possibly minutes before midnight. The preacher references the parable of the virgins, where five were wise and five were foolish, emphasizing the need to be prepared for the coming of the bridegroom. He also highlights the importance of preaching the gospel to every creature and the need for Christians to watch and pray, as we do not know the hour of the Lord's coming. The preacher encourages believers to abide in Him so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed.
The Power of the Printed Page
By Oswald J. Smith1.3K44:17TractsMAT 28:19MRK 13:10ROM 10:17In this sermon, the speaker recounts a moment when he and Billy were sitting together in Madison Square Garden, and Billy asked him to preach first.

Inspired by this, the speaker has been urging congregations to support Protestant missionaries and give them the tools they need to spread the gospel. The sermon concludes with a reference to the gospel according to Mark, emphasizing the importance of publishing the gospel among all nations.
The Fatal Delay
By Ernst Tanner1.2K00:00DelayMAT 16:3MAT 24:14MRK 13:101TH 5:1In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the need for revival and urgency in the current times.

The speaker also discusses the importance of being prepared for the coming of the bridegroom, symbolizing the return of Jesus Christ. He warns against being attached to worldly things and urges listeners to be ready for the kingdom of God. The sermon references biblical passages such as Matthew 25 and Isaiah 60 to support these teachings.

By Chip Brogden84518:58MAT 5:13MAT 9:36MAT 28:19MRK 13:10
This sermon emphasizes the importance of reaching out to the lost and sharing the love of Christ with those who are in need of spiritual truth. It highlights the need to go beyond the walls of the church and actively seek out those who are weary, confused, and lost, just as Jesus did.

The Musts of Christs Commandment
By Ian Paisley48235:39MAT 24:6MAT 26:53MRK 13:10LUK 2:49JHN 3:7JHN 4:4In this sermon, the preacher explores the parallelism between two chapters in the Gospel of John: chapter 3 and chapter 4. The preacher highlights the parallel of identity between two characters introduced in these chapters - a religious man and a reprobate woman. Despite their different backgrounds, both characters are representative of fallen humanity. The preacher emphasizes that both sinners are in need of the same gospel message, which is the love of God demonstrated through the gift of His only begotten Son.
