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!
02 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.
03 And as he sat upon the mount of
Olives over against the temple, Peter and James
and John and Andrew asked him privately,
04 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
shall be the sign when all these things shall be
fulfilled?
05 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take
heed lest any man deceive you:
06 For many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
