*
Then as He went out of the temple ,
one of His disciples said to Him , "
Teacher ,
see what manner of stones and what buildings are here !"
*
And Jesus answered and said to him , "
Do you see these great buildings ?
Not one stone shall be left upon another ,
that shall not be thrown down ."
*
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple ,
Peter ,
James ,
John ,
and Andrew asked Him privately ,
* "
Tell us ,
when will these things be ?
And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled ?"
*
And Jesus ,
answering them ,
began to say : "
Take heed that no one deceives you .
*
For many will come in My name ,
saying , "
I am He ,'
and will deceive many .
*
But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars ,
do not be troubled ;
for such things 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 are the beginnings of sorrows .
* "
But watch out for yourselves ,
for they will deliver you up to councils ,
and you will be beaten in the synagogues .
You will 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 arrest you and deliver you up ,
do not worry beforehand ,
or premeditate what you will speak .
But whatever is given you in that hour ,
speak that ;
for it is not you who speak ,
but the Holy Spirit .
*
Now brother will betray brother to death ,
and a father his child ;
and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death .
*
And you will be hated by all for My name '
s sake .
But he who endures to the end shall be saved .
* "
So when you see the "
abomination of desolation ,'
spoken of by Daniel the prophet ,
standing where it ought not " (
let the reader understand ), "
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains .
*
Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house ,
nor enter to take anything out of his house .
*
And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes .
*
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days !
*
And pray that your flight may not be in winter .
*
For in those days there will be tribulation ,
such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time ,
nor ever shall be .
*
And unless the Lord had shortened those days ,
no flesh would be saved ;
but for the elect '
s sake ,
whom He chose ,
He shortened the days .
* "
Then if anyone says to you , "
Look ,
here is the Christ !'
or , "
Look ,
He is there !'
do not believe it .
*
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive ,
if possible ,
even the elect .
*
But take heed ;
see ,
I have told you all things beforehand .
* "
But in those days ,
after that tribulation ,
the sun will be darkened ,
and the moon will not give its light ;
*
the stars of heaven will fall ,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken .
*
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory .
*
And then He will send His angels ,
and gather together His elect from the four winds ,
from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven .
* "
Now learn this parable from the fig tree :
When its branch has already become tender ,
and puts forth leaves ,
you know that summer is near .
*
So you also ,
when you see these things happening ,
know that it is near--at the doors !
*
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place .
*
Heaven and earth will pass away ,
but My words will by no means pass away .
* "
But of that day and hour no one knows ,
not even the angels in heaven ,
nor the Son ,
but only the Father .
*
Take heed ,
watch and pray ;
for you do not know when the time is .
*
It is like a man going to a far country ,
who left his house and gave authority to his servants ,
and to each his work ,
and commanded the doorkeeper to watch .
*
Watch therefore ,
for you do not know when the master of the house is coming--in the evening ,
at midnight ,
at the crowing of the rooster ,
or in the morning --
*
lest ,
coming suddenly ,
he find you sleeping .
*
And what I say to you ,
I say to all :
Watch !"
