And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Teacher, see! what stones, and what buildings!
2 And Jesus answering said to him, “See these great buildings? There may not be left a stone on a stone that may not be thrown down.”
And Jesus said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.
3 And as He is sitting at the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning Him by Himself,
And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 “Tell us when these things will be? And what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?”
Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?
5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, “Take heed lest anyone may lead you astray,
And Jesus began to say to them, See that no one deceive you.
6 for many will come in My Name, saying, I am [He], and many they will lead astray;
Many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many.
7 and when you may hear of wars and reports of wars, do not be troubled, for these ought to be, but the end [is] not yet;
And when ye hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be not troubled; they must come to pass; but not yet is the end.
8 for nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles; these [are the] beginning of travails.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in divers places; there will be famines. These things are the beginning of travail-pains.
9 And take heed to yourselves, for they will deliver you up to Sanhedrins, and to synagogues, you will be beaten, and before governors and kings you will be set for My sake, for a testimony to them;

10 and to all the nations it is first necessary that the good news be proclaimed.
And the glad tidings must first be published to all the nations.
11 And when they may lead you, delivering up, do not be anxious beforehand what you may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak, for it is not you who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
And when they lead you away to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand as to what ye shall speak; but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children will rise up against parents, and will put them to death,

But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, —let him that readeth understand, —then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
15 and he on the housetop, do not let him come down into the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;
let not him that is on the house-top go down, nor enter, to take anything out of his house;
16 and he who is in the field, do not let him turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

17 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;
And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days!
18 and pray that your flight may not be in winter,

19 for those days will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, until now, and may not be [again];
For those days will be a time of distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, nor shall be.
20 and if the LORD did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He chose to Himself, He shortened the days.
And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days.
21 And then, if any may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ, or, Behold, there, you may not believe;
And then if any one shall say to you, See! here is the Christ; see! there; believe him not.
22 for there will rise false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;
For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and will do signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the chosen.
23 and you, take heed; behold, I have foretold you all things.
But do ye take heed! I have told you all beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light,

so also watch ye; for ye know not when the master of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning;
36 lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;
lest coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.
37 and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch!”
And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.
