And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 But Jesus said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Truly I say to you, there will be left here, no, not a stone upon a stone, that will not be thrown down.
And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

4 And having answered, Jesus said to them, See that not any man may lead you astray.
And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will lead many astray.
For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and will deceive many.
6 And ye are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye not be alarmed, for all the things must happen, but the end is not yet.
And ye will hear of wars, and rumors 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 will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in places.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
8 But all these things are the beginning of travail.
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then they will deliver you up for tribulation, and will kill you, and ye will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
Then will they deliver you up to be afflicted, and will kill you: and ye will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then many will be caused to stumble, and they will betray each other and will hate each other.
And then will many be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
And many false prophets will rise, and will deceive many.
12 And because of the increased lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold.
And because iniquity will abound, the love of many will become cold.
13 But he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.

16 then let those in Judea flee to the mountains.
Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:
17 Let the man on the housetop not go down to take things from his house.
Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 And let the man in the field not return back to take his clothes.
Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe to those who have in the womb and to those who suckle in those days.
And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
20 And pray ye that your flight may not happen in winter, nor on a sabbath,
But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath:
21 for then there will be great tribulation, such as not has happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor, no, it will not happen.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened, there would no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here, believe ye not.
Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
24 For there will arise false Christs and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.
For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so that, if [it were] possible, they would deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have foretold it to you.
Behold, I have told you before.
26 If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the wilderness, do not go forth. Behold, he is in the inner chambers, do not believe.
Wherefore, if they shall say to 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 comes out from the east, and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of man.

Now learn a parable of the fig-tree; When its branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But about that day and hour no man knows, not even the agents of the heavens, except my Father only.
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 And as the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of man.
But as the days of Noah [were], so will also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of man.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away: so also will be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Then two men will be in the field, one is taken, and one is left.
Then will two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two [women will be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore, because ye know not at what hour your Lord comes.
Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.
43 But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken up.
44 Because of this ye also be ready, because in that hour ye think not the Son of man comes.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom his lord appointed over his service, to give them the provision on time?
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
46 Blessed is that bondman, whom his lord when he comes will find so doing.
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all things being possessed by him.
Verily I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late coming,
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming;
49 and should begin to beat the fellow bondmen, and to eat and drink with the drunken,
And shall begin to beat [his] fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 the lord of that bondman will come in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware,
The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 and he will cut him in two, and place his share with the hypocrites. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
And will cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
