| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1As Jesus left the Temple and was walking away, his disciples came up to him to point out to him the Temple buildings. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2But he told them, "You see all these things, don't you? I tell all of you with certainty, there isn't a single stone here that will be left standing on top of another. They will all be torn down." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will these things take place, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Jesus answered them, "See to it that no one deceives you, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5because many will come in my name and say, 'I'm the Messiah,' and they will deceive many people. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6You'll hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you aren't alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn't come yet, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7because nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But all these things are only the beginning of the birth pains." |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"Then they'll hand you over to suffer and will kill you, and you'll be hated by all the nations because of my name. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Then many people will fall away, will betray one another, and will hate one another. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people, |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many people will grow cold. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But the person who endures to the end will be saved. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout 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 destructive desecration, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader take note), |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Anyone who's on the housetop must not come down to get what is in his house, |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18and anyone who's in the field must not turn back to get his coat. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days! |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Pray that it may not be in winter or on a Sabbath when you flee, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21because at that time there will be great suffering, the kind that hasn't happened from the beginning of the world until now and certainly won't ever happen again. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22If those days hadn't been limited, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be limited. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23"At that time, if anyone says to you, 'Look! Here's the Messiah!' or 'There he is!', don't believe it, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24because false messiahs and false prophets will appear and display great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Remember, I've told you this beforehand. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26So if they say to you, 'Look! He's in the wilderness,' don't go out looking for him. And if they say, 'Look! He's in the storeroom,' don't believe it, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27because just 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 there's a corpse, there the vultures will gather. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"Immediately after the troubles of those days, 'The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of heaven will be shaken loose.' |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all 'the tribes of the land will mourn' when they 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'll send out his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they'll gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to another." |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches become tender and it produces 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, you'll know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34I tell all of you with certainty, this generation won't disappear until these things happen. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear." |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"No one knows when that day or hour will come —not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father, |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37because just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40At that time, two people will be in the field. One will be taken, and one will be left behind. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Two women will be grinding grain at the mill. One will be taken, and one will be left behind. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42"So keep on watching, because you don't know on what day your Lord is coming. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known when during the night the thief would be coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44So you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting him." |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45"Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant whom his master has put in charge of his household to give the others their food at the right time? |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes! |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47I tell all of you with certainty, he will put him in charge of all his property. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48"But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master has been delayed,' |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49and begins to beat his fellow servants and eat and drink with the drunks, |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50that servant's master will come on a day when he doesn't expect him and at an hour that he doesn't know. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." |
