The context of the verse in question, is a discussion that arose concerning Jesus' prophecy about the future destruction of all the magnificent buildings to which one of his disciples had drawn his attention:

Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
-- Mark 13:2

Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him later:

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
-- Mark 13:3

Jesus' answer to their question included reference to:

  • nation rising against nation.
  • kingdom rising againagainst kingdom.
  • councils and synagogues being places of corporal discipline for those who hold to Jesus' teaching.
  • rulers and kings passing judgement on those who hold to Jesus' teaching.

It seems pretty clear to me that the "nations" Jesus mentions in Mark 13:10 are the same nations and kingdoms before whose rulers and kings his disciples will be brought, i.e. every sovereign domain - those with synagogues (Jewish), and those without (Gentile).

Conclusion

No. The text should not be changed because the translators have it right.
