As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings."
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.
And Yeshua said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will 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?
"Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
And Yeshua began to say to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he.' and will lead many astray.
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.

10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
The Good News must first be preached to all the 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.
When they lead you away and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Rukha d'Qudsha.

For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will 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:

For there will arise false meshikhas and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the chosen ones.

29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

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:
Watch therefore, for you do not know when the lord of the house is coming—at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
What I tell you, I tell all: Watch."
