1 As Jesus was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, see, master, what stone-work, and buildings are here. 2 but Jesus answer'd him, you see this magnificent structure, which shall not be left till it be all demolished, one stone after another. 3 and when he was sitting upon the mount of Olives over-against the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew said to him in private, tell us, 4 when shall this happen? and what will be the sign that this is going to be accomplished? 5 Jesus answer'd by saying, take care not to let any one impose upon you; 6 for many shall come in my name, and say, I am the Messiah; and deceive many. 7 but when ye shall hear the talk of wars, and the noise of wars, be not alarm'd; for that must happen; but the end is not yet. 8 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: there shall be earthquakes in divers places, famines and commotions. 9 these are the beginning of sorrows, then look to your selves: for they will deliver you up to the tribunals, and scourge you in the synagogues: you will be brought before governours, and princes upon my account, to be my witnesses against them. 10 but the gospel must first be published among all nations. 11 now when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not sollicitous about your defence, don't premeditate upon it; but what shall be suggested to you at the very occasion, that deliver: for it is not you that will plead, but the holy spirit. 12 then the brother shall betray his brother to death, and the father his son: children shall prosecute their parents, and be the instruments to take away their lives: 13 you will be the object of universal hatred upon my account; but he that shall persevere unto the end, shall be saved. 14 Now when you shall see the-abomination of desolation, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, establish'd where it ought not to be (let the reader observe) then let those, who are in Judea, flee to the mountains: 15 he that is upon the battlements let him not descend into the house, nor enter therein to take any thing away: let 16 not him that is in the field return back to fetch his garment.
