| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1As Jesus left and was going out of the temple, his disciples came up and called his attention to its buildings. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He replied to them, "Do you see all these things? Truly I tell you, not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately and said, "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what is the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Jesus replied to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and they will deceive many. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, because these things must take place, but the end is not yet. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8All these events are the beginning of labor pains. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"Then they will hand you over to be persecuted, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Then many will fall away, betray one another, and hate one another. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Because lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But the one who endures to the end will be saved. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15"So when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place" (let the reader understand), |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"then those in Judea must flee to the mountains. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17A man on the housetop must not come down to get things out of his house, |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18and a man in the field must not go back to get his coat. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days! |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Pray that your escape may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21For at that time there will be great distress, the kind that hasn't taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Unless those days were cut short, no one would be saved. But those days will be cut short because of the elect. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23"If anyone tells you then, 'See, here is the Messiah!' or, 'Over here!' do not believe it. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Take note: I have told you in advance. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26So if they tell you, 'See, he's in the wilderness!' don't go out; or, 'See, he's in the storerooms!' do not believe it. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will gather. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"Learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33In the same way, when you see all these things, recognize that he is near--at the door. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"Now concerning that day and hour no one knows--neither the angels of heaven nor the Son--except the Father alone. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39They didn't know until the flood came and swept them all away. This is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Two women will be grinding grain with a hand mill; one will be taken and one left. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Therefore be alert, since you don't know what day your Lord is coming. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43But know this: If the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44This is why you are also to be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45"Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give them food at the proper time? |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46Blessed is that servant whom the master finds doing his job when he comes. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48But if that wicked servant says in his heart, 'My master is delayed,' |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49and starts to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with drunkards, |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50that servant's master will come on a day he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. |
