* And as he went forth out of the temple , one of his disciples says to him , Teacher , see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings . * And Jesus having answered , he said to him , See thou these great buildings ? There will be left , no , not a stone upon a stone , that will , no , not be brought down . * And as he sat upon the mount of Olives opposite the temple , Peter and James and John and Andrew questioned him privately , * Tell us , when will these things be ? And what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled ? * And having answered them , Jesus began to say to them , Watch that not any man lead you astray . * For many will come in my name , saying , I am , and they will lead many astray . * And when ye may hear of wars and rumors of wars , be not alarmed , for it must happen , but the end is not yet . * For nation will rise against nation , and kingdom against kingdom , and there will be earthquakes in various places , and there will be famines and troubles . These things are the beginnings of travails . * But watch ye yourselves , for they will deliver you up to councils , and ye will be beaten in synagogues . And ye will be stood before rulers and kings because of me , for a testimony to them . * And the good-news must first be preached to all the nations . * But when they lead you , delivering you up , be not anxious before what ye might speak , nor meditate . But whatever may be given you in that hour , speak ye this , for ye are not who speak , but the Holy Spirit . * And brother will betray brother to death , and a father a child . And children will rise up against parents , and will condemn them to death . * And ye will be hated by all men because of my name , but he who endures to the end , this man will be saved . * But when ye see the abomination of desolation , which was spoken by Daniel the prophet , standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand ), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains , * and let the man on the housetop not go down into the house , nor enter in to take anything out of his house , * and let the man who is in the field not turn back for the things behind , to take his cloak . * But woe to those who have in the womb , and to those who suckle in those days . * And pray ye that your flight may not be in winter . * For those days will be tribulation , such as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now , and no , will not happen . * And unless the Lord cut short the days , no flesh would have been saved , but because of the chosen , whom he chose , he cut short the days . * And then if any man should say to you , Lo , here is the Christ , or , Lo , there , do not believe . * For FALSE Christs and FALSE prophets will arise , and will give signs and wonders , in order to lead astray , if possible , even the chosen . * But watch ye . Behold , I have foretold all to you . * But in those days , after that tribulation , the sun will be darkened , and the moon will not give its light , * and the stars of the sky will be falling , and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken . * And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory . * And then he will send forth his heavenly agents , and will gather together his chosen from the four winds , from the outermost part of the earth as far as the outermost part of heaven . * But learn a parable from the fig tree . When its branch now become tender , and sprouts the leaves , ye know that summer is near . * So ye also , when ye may see these things happening , know ye that it is near , at the doors . * Truly I say to you , that this generation will , no , not pass away , until all these things happen . * The sky and the earth will pass away , but my words may , no , not pass away . * But about that day or that hour no man knows , not even the agents in heaven , nor the Son , but the Father . * Watch ye ! Be alert and pray , for ye know not when the time is , * like a man abroad , having left his house , and having given authority to his bondmen , and to each man his work , and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch . * Watch therefore , for ye know not when the lord of the house comes , at evening , or at midnight , or at cock crowing , or in the morning , * lest having come suddenly , he may find you sleeping . * And what I say to you I say to all , watch !
