On Mount of Olives, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Jesus when these things will be.
Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
Mark 13:19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.
Mark 13:19 For there will be greater anguish in those days than at any time since God created the world. And it will never be so great again.
Because those days will be, those ones, an oppression such as has not happened such as this from an beginning of founding, which the Divine founded, until that now and never should it happen.
The original Greek is unnecessarily verbose. Jesus may have used its many extra words to make a dramatic of comedic emphasis that works better when it is spoken than read. There are so many words omitted and added to the various translations of this verse that it is hard to discuss what is hidden. Many of the verse's keywords do not even appear in many recent versions. All of these uncommon words translated as here, "such as," "affliction," "of such," "beginning," "creation," and "created" in the KJV (and often ignored in more modern translations) are more common in the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament. This verse has a lot in common with the Septuagint version of Deu 4:32, which modern translations use as the source of some of the words they insert here.
The word translated as "affliction/distress/anguish" refers specifically to "pressure." It clearly refers to political oppression.
The noun translated as "creation" in the KJV--and ignored by more modern translations--is used by Jesus only in this verse, Matthew 24:21, the verse's parallel, and Mark 16:15 where it is translated as "creature." The verb form of this used only once, in this verse, and translated as "created." However, the word is unrelated to genesis, the common Greek word for "creation," and title of the first book of the Bible. The noun means something like "founding" and the primary meaning of the verb is "to populate" or "founded." Both words refer to the founding of a city or nation. The sense here is clearly referring to the state of Judea. Deu 4:32, the Septuagint source for these words, refers to the founding of Judea. It would have been clear to his listeners that Jesus was referring to the destruction of Judea as a nation.
All English versions translated the final verb as "will be" or "shall be." but the word means "happens." It is not the verb "to be," which actually starts the sentence. The form is not the future tense, but a form of possibility. It is not a promise that something won't happen, but that it shouldn't. There is no "again" here as added.
Nations that promote a rot of emptiness are doomed.
ἔσονται γὰρ αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι “θλίψις οἵα οὐ γέγονεν τοιαύτη
will be Because those days those ones, an oppression such as not has happened such as this
ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς κτίσεως” ἣν ἔκτισεν ὁ θεὸς “ἕως τοῦ νῦν” καὶ οὐ μὴ γένηται.
from an beginning of founding, which founded the Divine, until that now and never should it happen.

For --The word translated as "for" introduces a reason or explanation so "because" and, in questions, "why." However, since this word always appears in the second position, it is more like an aside remark like, "consequently" or "as a cause".
in -- (IW) There are no Greek words that can be translated as "in" in the source we use today nor was there one in the source that the KJV translators used. It was added for clarity.
those --The word translated as "those" is an adjective that highlights its noun as being in a specific place or time from a word that means "there."
missing"the" -- (MW) The untranslated word is the Greek definite article, which usually precedes a noun. The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those"). See this article for more.
days -- The Greek word translated as "day" also means "time," in general, and refers specifically to the "daytime." This word is in the form of a subject.
shall -- This helping verb indicates that the following verb is the future tense. Helping or auxiliary verbs are needed to translate the Greek verb forms into English.
be -- The verb "be" here is the common form of "to be" in Greek. It means to have a certain characteristic or remain in a certain condition. It also equates terms or assigns characteristics. This is the first word in the verse. When the verb "to be" appears early in the clause before the subject, the sense is more like "it is" or, in the plural, "there are." It is in the future tense plural, which is "be,"
affliction, -- (CW) The Greek word translated as "affliction" means "pressure," which is translated as a metaphor for "oppression." It does not refer to disease. Since it primarily means pressure in the sense of "crushing" (and "castration"), it is a more colorful word than the words we used to describe a time of difficulty. Prior to Christ's use, it appears in Greek literature more as a scientific term than a social description. It is translation as "tribulation" in Matthew version of this verse.
such as -- "Such as" is an adjective that means "such as", "of what sort", "kind of," and can imply a fitness or capability of a thing. This word is only used by Jesus here and in parallel in Matthew.
was -- (WW, WT) The word translated as "was" means "to become," that is, to enter into a new state, or for events "to happen." In Greek, especially as used by Jesus, it is the opposite of "being," which is existence in the current state. The tense is the past perfect, "has been."
not -- The Greek word translated as "not" is the Greek negative used to deny objective facts, not opinions. It makes a negative statement of fact. Adding "really" to the sentence captures the same idea.
from -- The word translated as "from" means "out from" in both location and when referring to a source.
the -- (IW) There are no Greek words that can be translated as "the" in the source.
beginning -- "Beginning" is a noun that means "beginning", "origin", "first principles", "first place of power", "empire," and "command." This is the word from which we get both "archbishop," primal bishops who can consecrate other bishops, and "archeology," the study of ancient history.
of -- This word comes from the genitive case of the following word(s) that required the addition of a preposition in English. The most common is the "of" of possession, but it can also mean "belonging to," "part of", "which is", "than" (in comparisons), or "for", "concerning" or "about" with transitive verbs.
the -- (IW) There are no Greek words that can be translated as "the" in the source we use today nor was there one in the source that the KJV translators used. When a word doesn't have a definite article, the indefinite article can be added in English translation.
creation -- "Creation" is an uncommon noun which means "founding", "settling", "created thing", "creature," and "authority created." It is NOT the word for the creation of the universe, which we all know is genesis.
which -- The word translated as "which" is a demonstrative pronoun ("this" "that"), but it often acts as a pronoun ("the one that), especially a connective pronoun ("the one that") introducing a dependent clause.
missing "the" -- (MW) The untranslated word is the Greek definite article. The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those"). See this article for more.
God -- The word translated as "God" means "God" and "deity." It is introduced with an article, so "the God." Jesus often uses it this way perhaps to indicate the one God as opposed to the pagan gods.

unto -- The word translated as "unto" means "until" but it also means "in order that."
this -- The word translated as "this" is the Greek definite article, which usually precedes a noun and, without a noun, takes the meaning of "the one." The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those"). See this article for more.
time, -- (WW) The Greek adverb translated as "time" means "now", "at the present moment","presently," and "as it is." It is not either of the words usually translated as "time," one of which is the "days" above.
neither -- (CW) The "not" here is both of the Greek negatives used together. Greek has two negatives, one objective, one subjective. The use of both together is more extreme, like saying, "never" or literally, "you cannot really think." When a negative precedes the verb, it affects the whole clause. When it precedes other words, its force is limited to those words. CW - Confusing Word -- The "not" does not capture the word's specific meaning.
shall -- (CW) This helping verb "shall" does not indicate the future tense, but that the following verb describes a possibility, the subjunctive voice. A "might" or "should" in English is more appropriate, but is assumed in an "if" or "when" clause. Helping verbs are not needed in Greek since the main verb carries this information in its form. ]
be. -- (WW) The word translated as "be" means "to become," that is, to enter into a new state. In Greek, especially as used by Jesus, it is the opposite of "being," which is existence in the current state. When applied to events, this words works like our "happen."

of -- (IW) There is not Greek word "of" here does the form of the following word justify it.
distress , -- The Greek word translated as "distress" means "pressure," which is translated as a metaphor for "oppression."

Prior to Christ's use, it appears in Greek literature more as a scientific term than a social description. It is translation as "tribulation" in Matthew version of this verse.

The phrase contrasts verbs for being with those for coming or not coming into existence.
