1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, 'Teacher, look at these magnificent stones and impressive buildings!'

And 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 Jesus replied, 'Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.'

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 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,

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 will these things happen? And what will be the sign that all these things are about to be fulfilled?

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

5 Jesus began to say to them, 'Watch out that no one deceives you.'

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

6 'Many will come in My name, claiming, "I am He," and will deceive many.'

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, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

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 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

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 'You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to councils and beaten in synagogues. On account of Me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.'

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 proclaimed to all nations.

And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

11 When you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given to you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

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 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.

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 Everyone will hate you because of My name, but the one who endures to the end will be saved.

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 When you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be, as spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains.

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 Let the one who is on the rooftop not go down or enter the house to take anything out.

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 the one who is in the field not turn back to get their cloak.

And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

18 Pray that this will not happen in winter.

And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

19 For those days will be a time of tribulation unlike anything that has occurred from the beginning of creation, which God made, until now, and will never occur again.

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 If the Lord had not shortened those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has shortened them.

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 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘Look, there He is!’ do not believe it.

And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

22 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

23 So be on guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.

But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27 And He will send His angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

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 this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and its leaves sprout, you know that summer is near.

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 In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that it is near—right at the door.

So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

32 But about that day or hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

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 Be on guard! Stay alert and pray, because you do not know when the time will come.

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

34 It is like a man going on a journey, who leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their task, and tells the doorkeeper to stay alert.

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 Therefore, stay alert, because you do not know when the master of the house will come—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn.

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 Otherwise, when he comes suddenly, he may find you sleeping.

Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: Stay alert!

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
