* 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 any one 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 up against nation , and kingdom against kingdom ; and there shall be earthquakes in [different ] places , and there shall be famines and troubles : these things [are the ] beginnings of throes . * But ye , take heed to yourselves , for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues : ye shall be beaten and 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 say , [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 will be hated of all on account of my name ; but he that has endured to the end , he shall be saved . * But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not , (he that reads let him consider [it ],) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains ; * and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house , nor enter [into it ] to take away anything out of his house ; * and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment . * But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days ! * And pray that it may not be in winter time ; * for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since [the ] beginning of creation which God created , until now , and never shall be ; * and if [the ] Lord had not cut short those days , no flesh should have been saved ; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen , he has cut short those days . * And then if any one say to you , Lo , here [is ] the Christ , or Lo , there , believe [it ] not . * For false Christs and false prophets will arise , and give signs and wonders to deceive , if possible , even the elect . * But do ye take heed : behold , I have told you all things beforehand . * But in those days , after that distress , the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light ; * and the stars of heaven shall be falling down , and the powers which 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 puts forth the leaves , ye know that the summer is near . * Thus also ye , when ye see these things happening , know that it is near , at the doors . * Verily I say unto you , 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 .
