1 And when he went out of the temple and said to him one of his disciples, Master! see what manner of stones and what buildings!
2 Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? it will all be destroyed, so that there will be no stone unturned.
3 And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, asked him privately, Peter and James and John and Andrew:
4 Tell us, when it will be, and what is the sign when all these things shall be accomplished?

5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed that no man deceive you,
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such [these things] have --no [it] is not the end.
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. This is - the beginning of sorrows.
9 But take heed to yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and beat in the synagogues and before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And all nations must first be preached the gospel.
eleven When they lead you to betray, do not be anxious beforehand what you say, and do not ponder; but it shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Brother will betray brother to death, and the father - children; and children will rise up against parents and put them to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

14 When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, let him understand --chitayuschy, --togda are in Judea flee to the mountains;
15 and who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take any thing out of his house;
16 is in the field not turn back to take his clothes.
17 Woe to pregnant women and who are nursing babies in those days.
18 Pray that your flight be not in the winter.
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.
20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, he would no flesh be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
21 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or lo there; believe it not.
22 For false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 You watch out. Behold, I have told you everything.

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 shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
26 Then shall they see the Son of Man coming in 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 ends of the earth to heaven.

28 From the fig tree parable: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is near.
29 So when you see these things happening, know that it is near, even at the doors.
thirty Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, how it will be.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day or that hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33 Take heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 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 therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house comes: evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning;
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.
