And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!
And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled.
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest anyone mislead you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.
But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for [this] must happen, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in different places, and there shall be famines and troubles; these are the beginning of throes.
But ye, take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to Sanhedrims, and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten, and shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.
And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall speak [nor prepare your discourse], but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak: for ye are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit.
But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all on account of my name; but he that hath endured unto the end, he shall be saved.
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that reads, let him consider), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains,
and let him that is on the housetop not come down into the house, neither enter therein, to take away anything out of his house.
And let him that is in the field not turn back to take his garment.
But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days!
And pray that it may not be in the winter-time.
For in those days shall be distress, such as there has not been the like since the beginning of creation which God created unto now, and never shall be.
And unless [the] Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
And then if anyone shall say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ; or lo, there; believe [it] not:
for false Christs and false prophets shall arise, and give signs and wonders to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light;
and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
and then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
But learn the parable from the fig-tree. When its branch already becomes tender, and putteth forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
Thus also, when ye shall see these things happen, know that it is near at the doors.
Verily I say unto you that this generation shall in no wise pass away till all these things take place.
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
But of that day or of that hour knoweth no one, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
[it is] as a man gone out of the country who left his house and gave authority to his bondmen, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
Watch, therefore; for ye know not when the master of the house cometh: even, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or in morning;
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
But what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
