1And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings! 2And Yeshua said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down. 3And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4Tell us, when will these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished? 5And Yeshua began to say to them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 6Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray. 7And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled: these things must come to pass; but the end is not yet. 8For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in various places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of birth pains. 9But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues you shall be beaten; and before governors and kings you shall stand for my sake, for a testimony to them. 10And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you shall speak: but whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 13And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he who endures to the end, he shall be saved. 14But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those who are in Judæa flee to the mountains: 15and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: 16and let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 17But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse in those days! 18And pray that it may not be in the winter. 19For those days shall be tribulation, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be. 20And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21And then if any man says to you, Look, here is the Messiah; or, Look, there; do not believe it: 22for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23But take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand. 24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken. 26And then they shall see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27And then he shall send out the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 28Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near; 29even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that he is near, even at the doors. 30Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things are accomplished. 31Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. 33Take heed, watch and pray: for you do not know when the time is. 34It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the gatekeeper to watch. 35Watch therefore: for you do not know when the lord of the house comes, whether at evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning; 36lest coming suddenly he finds you sleeping. 37And what I say to you I say to all, Watch.
