13And as he went
out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what
manner of stones and what buildings are here! 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. 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? 5 And
Jesus answering them began to say, Take
heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 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. 8 For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and
troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 But
take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and
in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers
and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And
the gospel must first be published among all 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. 12 Now
the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son;
and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them
to be put to death. 13 And
ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 But
when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, standing where it ought not,
(let him that readeth understand,) then
let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 15 And
let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter
therein, to take any thing out of his house: 16 And
let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17But woe to them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days! 18 And pray
ye that your flight be not in the winter. 19 For in
those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the
creation which God created unto this time, neither shall 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: 22 For false
Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders,
to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take
ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 24 But in
those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon
shall not give her light, 25 And the
stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then
shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and
glory. 27 And then
shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four
winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 28 Now learn
a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth
leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye
in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it
is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily
I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things
be done. 31 Heaven
and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of
that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take
ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 For the
Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave
authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the
porter to watch. 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: 36 Lest
coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what
I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
