And Jesus
went out, and departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to shew him the
buildings of the temple.
02 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.
03 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?
04 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man deceive you.
05 For many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
06 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.
07 For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places.
08 All these are the
beginning of sorrows.
09 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.
