1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!” |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?” |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16And let no one in the field return for his cloak. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Pray that this will not occur in the winter. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance. |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’ |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. |
27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. |
28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. |
29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door. |
30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. |
31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. |
32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. |
33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come. |
34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch. |
35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning. |
36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping. |
37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!” |
