| 1 | And as he went out of the temple , one of his disciples saith unto him , Master , see what manner of stones and what buildings [are here]! |
| 2 | And Jesus answering said unto him , Seest thou these great buildings ? there shall not be left one stone upon another , that shall not be thrown down . |
| 3 | And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple , Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately , |
| 4 | Tell us , when shall these things be ? and what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled ? |
| 5 | And Jesus answering them began to say , Take heed lest any [man] deceive you : |
| 6 | For many shall come in my name , saying , I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many . |
| 7 | And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars , be ye not troubled : for [such things] must needs be ; but the end [shall] not [be] yet . |
| 8 | For nation shall rise against nation , and kingdom against kingdom : and there shall be earthquakes in divers places , and there shall be famines and troubles : these [are] the beginnings of sorrows . |
| 9 | But take heed to yourselves : for they shall deliver you up to councils ; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten : and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake , for a testimony against them . |
| 10 | And the gospel must first be published among all nations . |
| 11 | But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up , take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak , neither do ye premeditate : but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour , that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak , but the Holy Ghost . |
| 12 | Now the brother shall betray the brother to death , and the father the son ; and children shall rise up against [their] parents , and shall cause them to be put to death . |
| 13 | And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake : but he that shall endure unto the end , the same shall be saved . |
| 14 | But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation , spoken of by Daniel the prophet , standing where it ought not , (let him that readeth understand ,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains : |
| 15 | And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house , neither enter [therein], to take any thing out of his house : |
| 16 | And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment . |
| 17 | But woe to them that are with child , and to them that give suck in those days ! |
| 18 | And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter . |
| 19 | For [in] those days shall be affliction , such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time , neither shall be . |
| 20 | And except that the Lord had shortened those days , no flesh should be saved : but for the elect's sake , whom he hath chosen , he hath shortened the days . |
| 21 | And then if any man shall say to you , Lo , here [is] Christ ; or , lo , [he is] there ; believe [him] not : |
| 22 | For false Christs and false prophets shall rise , and shall shew signs and wonders , to seduce , if [it were] possible , even the elect . |
| 23 | But take ye heed : behold , I have foretold you all things . |
| 24 | But in those days , after that tribulation , the sun shall be darkened , and the moon shall not give her light , |
| 25 | And the stars of heaven shall fall , and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken . |
| 26 | And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory . |
| 27 | And then shall he send his angels , and shall gather together his elect from the four winds , from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven . |
| 28 | Now learn a parable of the fig tree ; When her branch is yet tender , and putteth forth leaves , ye know that summer is near : |
| 29 | So ye in like manner , when ye shall see these things come to pass , know that it is nigh , [even] at the doors . |
| 30 | Verily I say unto you , that this generation shall not pass , till all these things be done . |
| 31 | Heaven and earth shall pass away : but my words shall not pass away . |
| 32 | But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man , no, not the angels which are in heaven , neither the Son , but the Father . |
| 33 | Take ye heed , watch and pray : for ye know not when the time is . |
| 34 | [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey , who left his house , and gave authority to his servants , and to every man his work , and commanded the porter to watch . |
| 35 | Watch ye therefore : for ye know not when the master of the house cometh , at even , or at midnight , or at the cockcrowing , or in the morning : |
| 36 | Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping . |
| 37 | And what I say unto you I say unto all , Watch . |
