*
And as some were saying of the temple ,
that it was adorned with goodly stones ,
and sacred gifts ,
he said ,
*
As for these things which ye behold ,
the days will come ,
in which there will not be left here one stone upon another ,
that will not be throw down .
*
And they asked him ,
saying ,
Teacher ,
when then will these things be ?
and what will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass ?
*
And he said ,
Take heed that ye be not deceived .
For many will come in my name ,
saying ,
I am He ,
and the time is at hand .
Go not after them .
*
And when ye hear of wars and tumults ,
be not terrified ;
for these things must first come to pass ;
but not immediately is the end .
*
Then he said to them ,
Nation will rise against nation ,
and kingdom against kingdom ;
*
and there will be great earthquakes ,
and in divers places famines and pestilences ;
and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven .
*
But before all these things they will lay their hands on you and persecute you ,
delivering you up to synagogues ,
and into prisons ,
and bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name .
*
It will turn out to you an opportunity for bearing testimony .
*
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate l beforehand what ye shall answer .
*
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom ,
which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or gainsay .
*
And ye will be delivered up both by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends ;
and some of you will they put to death .
*
And ye will be hated by all on account of my name .
*
But not a hair of your head will be lost .
*
By your constancy secure your lives .
*
But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed by armies ,
then know that her desolation is at hand .
*
Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains ;
and let those who are within the city go out of it ,
and let not those in the open country enter it .
*
For these are days of vengeance ,
that all things which are written may be fulfilled .
*
But woe to the women with child ,
and to those having children at the breast ,
in those days !
For there will be great distress in the land ,
and wrath upon this people ;
*
and they will fall by the edge of the sword ,
and will be led away captive into all the nations ;
and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the gentiles ,
until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled .
*
And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars ;
and on the earth distress of nations ,
in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves ;
*
men
s hearts failing them from fear ,
and from looking for those things which are coming on the world ;
for the powers of the heavens will be shaken .
*
And then will they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory .
*
And when these things begin to come to pass ,
look up ,
and lift up your heads ;
for your redemption draweth nigh .
*
And he spoke to them a parable :
Behold the fig
tree and all the trees ;
*
when they have already shot forth ,
ye see it ,
and know of yourselves that summer is now nigh at hand .
*
So also ,
when ye see these things coming to pass ,
know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand .
*
Truly do I say to you ,
that this generation will not pass away ,
till all shall have taken place .
*
Heaven and earth will pass away ,
but my words will not pass away .
*
But take heed to yourselves ,
lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with surfeiting and drunkenness and worldly cares ,
and that day come upon you unawares .
*
For as a snare will it come on all that dwell on the face of the whole earth .
*
But watch at all times ,
and pray that ye may be able to escape all the things that are about to come to pass ,
and to stand before the Son of man .
*
And during the daytime he was teaching in the temple ;
but at night he went out ,
and lodged in the mount called the Mount of Olives .
*
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple ,
to hear him .
