* And as he went out of the temple , one of his disciples saith to him , Teacher , see ! what stones , and what buildings ! * And Jesus said to him , Seest thou these great buildings ? There will not be left one stone upon another , that will not be thrown down . * And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives , over against the temple , Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately , * Tell us , when will these things be ? and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished ? * And Jesus began to say to them , See that no one deceive you . * Many will come in my name , saying , I am He ; and will deceive many . * And when ye hear of wars , and rumors of wars , be not troubled ; they must come to pass ; but not yet is the end . * For nation will rise against nation , and kingdom against kingdom ; there will be earthquakes in divers places ; there will be famines . These things are the beginning of travail –pains . * But do ye take heed to yourselves ; they will deliver you up to councils , and ye will be taken into synagogues and beaten ; and ye will be brought before governors and kings for my sake , for a testimony to them . * And the glad tidings must first be published to all the nations . * And when they lead you away to deliver you up , be not anxious beforehand as to what ye shall speak ; but whatever shall be given you in that hour , that speak ; for it is not ye that speak , but the Holy Spirit . * And brother will deliver up brother to death , and the father his child ; and children will rise up against parents , and put them to death . * And ye will be hated by all on account of my name . But he that endureth to the end will be saved . * But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not ,––let him that readeth understand ,––then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains ; * let not him that is on the house –top go down , nor enter , to take anything out of his house ; * and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment . * And woe to the women with child , and to those with children at the breast , in those days ! * And pray that it may not be in winter . * For those days will be a time of distress , such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now , nor shall be . * And if the Lord had not shortened the days , no flesh would have been saved ; but for the sake of the chosen whom he chose , he shortened the days . * And then if any one shall say to you , See ! here is the Christ ; see ! there ; believe him not . * For false Christs and false prophets will rise up , and will do signs and wonders , to lead astray , if possible , the chosen . * But do ye take heed ! I have told you all beforehand . * But in those days , after that distress , the sun will be darkened , and the moon will not give her light ; * and the stars will be falling from heaven , and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken . * And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory . * And then will he send forth the angels , and will gather the chosen ones from the four winds , from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven . * And from the fig –tree learn its parable . When its branch hath now become tender , and putteth forth its leaves , ye know that summer is near . * So also , when ye see these things coming to pass , know ye that he is near , at the doors . * Truly do I say to you , that this generation will not pass away , till all these things take place . * Heaven and earth will pass away , but my words will not pass away .
