Matthew 24
1 Jesus went out from the temple and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

2 But he answered and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left on another that will not be torn down.”

3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)

6 You will hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not troubled, for these things must happen; but the end is not yet.

26 Therefore, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out to the wilderness. Or, 'See, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
