*
And Jesus went out ,
and departed from the temple :
and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple .
*
And Jesus said to them ,
Do you not see all these things ?
truly I say to you ,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another ,
that shall not be thrown down .
*
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives ,
the disciples came to him privately ,
saying ,
Tell us when these things shall be ?
and what shall be the sign of your coming ,
and of the end of the age ?
*
And Jesus answered them ,
Take heed that no man deceive you .
*
For many shall come in my name ,
saying ,
I am the Christ ;
and shall deceive many .
*
And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars :
see that you are not troubled :
for all these things must come to pass ,
but the end is not yet .
*
For nation shall rise against nation ,
and kingdom against kingdom :
and there shall be famines ,
and earthquakes ,
in various places .
*
All these are the beginning of birth pains .
*
Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted ,
and shall kill you :
and you shall be hated by all nations for my name '
s sake .
*
And then shall many fall away ,
and shall betray one another ,
and shall hate one another .
*
And many false prophets shall rise ,
and shall deceive many .
*
And because iniquity shall abound ,
the love of many shall grow cold .
*
But he who endures to the end shall be saved .
*
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations ;
and then the end shall come .
*
Therefore ,
when you shall see the abomination of desolation ,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet ,
standing in the holy place , (
whoever reads ,
let him understand :)
*
Then let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains :
*
Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house :
*
Neither let him who is in the field turn back to take his cloak .
*
And woe to those who are with child ,
and to those who nurse in those days !
*
Pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on the sabbath day :
*
For then there shall be great tribulation ,
such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world to this time ,
no ,
nor ever shall be .
*
And unless those days had been cut short ,
no flesh would be saved :
but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short .
*
Then if any man shall say to you ,
Lo ,
here is the Christ ,
or there ;
do not believe it .
*
For false Christs shall arise ,
and false prophets ,
and shall show great signs and wonders ;
so as to deceive ,
if it were possible ,
even the very elect .
*
Behold ,
I have told you beforehand .
*
Therefore if they shall say to you ,
Behold ,
he is in the desert ;
do not go forth :
behold ,
he is in the inner rooms ;
do not believe it .
*
For as the lightning comes out of the east ,
and shines even to the west ;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be .
*
For wherever the body is ,
there will the vultures be gathered together .
*
Immediately after the tribulation of those days ,
the sun shall be darkened ,
and the moon shall not give its light ,
and the stars shall fall from heaven ,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken :
*
And then the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven :
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn ,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory .
*
And he shall send out his angels with a great call of a trumpet ,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds ,
from one end of the heavens to the other .
*
Now learn this parable from the fig tree ;
When its branch becomes tender ,
and puts forth leaves ,
you know that summer is near :
*
So likewise ,
when you shall see all these things ,
know that it is near ,
even at the doors .
*
Truly I say to you ,
This generation shall not pass away ,
until all these things are fulfilled .
*
Heaven and earth shall pass away ,
but my words shall not pass away .
