1 | And Jesus went out , and departed from the temple : and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of the temple . |
2 | And Jesus said unto them , See ye not all these things ? verily I say unto you , There shall not be left here one stone upon another , that shall not be thrown down . |
3 | And as he sat upon the mount of Olives , the disciples came unto him privately , saying , Tell us , when shall these things be ? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming , and of the end of the world ? |
4 | And Jesus answered and said unto them , Take heed that no man deceive you . |
5 | For many shall come in my name , saying , I am Christ ; and shall deceive many . |
6 | And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars : see that ye be not troubled : for all [these things] must come to pass , but the end is not yet . |
7 | For nation shall rise against nation , and kingdom against kingdom : and there shall be famines , and pestilences , and earthquakes , in divers places . |
8 | All these [are] the beginning of sorrows . |
9 | Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted , and shall kill you : and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake . |
10 | And then shall many be offended , and shall betray one another , and shall hate one another . |
11 | And many false prophets shall rise , and shall deceive many . |
12 | And because iniquity shall abound , the love of many shall wax cold . |
13 | But he that shall endure unto the end , the same shall be saved . |
14 | And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations ; and then shall the end come . |
15 | When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation , spoken of by Daniel the prophet , stand in the holy place , (whoso readeth , let him understand :) |
16 | Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains : |
17 | Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house : |
18 | Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes . |
19 | And woe unto them that are with child , and to them that give suck in those days ! |
20 | But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter , neither on the sabbath day : |
21 | For then shall be great tribulation , such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time , no , nor ever shall be . |
22 | And except those days should be shortened , there should no flesh be saved : but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened . |
23 | Then if any man shall say unto you , Lo , here [is] Christ , or there ; believe [it] not . |
24 | For there shall arise false Christs , and false prophets , and shall shew great signs and wonders ; insomuch that , if [it were] possible , they shall deceive the very elect . |
25 | Behold , I have told you before . |
26 | Wherefore if they shall say unto you , Behold , he is in the desert ; go not forth : behold , [he is] in the secret chambers ; believe [it] not . |
27 | For as the lightning cometh out of the east , and shineth even unto the west ; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be . |
28 | For wheresoever the carcase is , there will the eagles be gathered together . |
29 | Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened , and the moon shall not give her light , and the stars shall fall from heaven , and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken : |
30 | And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man 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 . |
31 | And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet , and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds , from one end of heaven to the other . |
32 | Now learn a parable of the fig tree ; When his branch is yet tender , and putteth forth leaves , ye know that summer [is] nigh : |
33 | So likewise ye , when ye shall see all these things , know that it is near , [even] at the doors . |
34 | Verily I say unto you , This generation shall not pass , till all these things be fulfilled . |
35 | Heaven and earth shall pass away , but my words shall not pass away . |
36 | But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven , but my Father only . |
37 | But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be . |
38 | For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking , marrying and giving in marriage , until the day that Noe entered into the ark , |
39 | And knew not until the flood came , and took them all away ; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be . |
40 | Then shall two be in the field ; the one shall be taken , and the other left . |
41 | Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill ; the one shall be taken , and the other left . |
42 | Watch therefore : for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come . |
43 | But know this , that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come , he would have watched , and would not have suffered his house to be broken up . |
44 | Therefore be ye also ready : for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh . |
45 | Who then is a faithful and wise servant , whom his lord hath made ruler over his household , to give them meat in due season ? |
46 | Blessed [is] that servant , whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing . |
47 | Verily I say unto you , That he shall make him ruler over all his goods . |
48 | But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart , My lord delayeth his coming ; |
49 | And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants , and to eat and drink with the drunken ; |
50 | The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of , |
51 | And shall cut him asunder , and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites : there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth . |
