1 ¶ And Jesus went out, and left the temple: and his disciples came up to him pointing out the temple buildings to him.

2 And Jesus said to them, Do you see all these things? I tell you truly, Not one stone here will be left upon another, that will not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things take place? and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?

4 ¶ And answering Jesus said to them, be careful that no one deceives you.

5 For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and will deceive many.

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be famines, and epidemics, and earthquakes, in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then they will hand you over to persecution, and kill you: and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.

10 And then many will turn away from the faith, and will betray each other, and will hate each other.

11 And many false prophets will rise up, and deceive many.

12 And because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

13 But he who endures to the end, will be saved.

14 And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.

15 Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (let he who reads understand:)

16 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains:

17 Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house:

18 Nor let him who is in the field go back to get his cloak.

19 But woe to those who are with child, and to those who nurse babies in those days!

20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on the sabbath day:

21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world to this time, and never will be again.

22 And unless those days are cut short, no flesh would be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

23 Then if any man says to you, Look, Christ is here, or he is there; do not believe it.

24 For false Christs, and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if possible, the very elect.

25 Behold, I am warning you beforehand.

26 Therefore if they say to you, Look, he is in the desert; do not go out: look, he is in the inner chamber; do not believe it.

27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so will the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will be gathered together.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken:

30 And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven: and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he will send his angels with the sound of a great trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32 ¶ Now learn a lesson from the fig tree; When its branch is still tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near:

33 So likewise, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 I tell you truly, This generation will not pass away, until all these things have been fulfilled.

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

36 But no one knows the day and hour, no, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of man.

38 For just as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

39 And did not know until the flood came, and took them all away; so also will the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: because you do not know when your Lord will come.

43 But realize this, if the owner of a house knew when a thief would come, he would watch, and would not allow his house to be broken into.

44 Therefore you should be ready also: for the Son of man will come at a time when you do not expect him.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has put in charge of his household, to give them food at the right time?

46 Blessed is the servant, whom his lord finds doing just that when he comes.

47 I tell you truly, That he will make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My lord delays his coming;

49 And begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and at a time he is not aware of,

51 And will cut him to pieces, and assign him a place with the hypocrites: where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
