Matthew 24:1-13 ▼

1 And Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, and his disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

2 But Jesus said to them: Do you not see all these things? Verily I say to you, There shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, and said: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceive you.

5 For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and will deceive many.

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled, for all things must be fulfilled; but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places.

8 But all these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and kill you; and you will be hated by all nations on my account.

10 And then will many be ensnared, and they will deliver one another up, and hate one another;

11 and many false prophets will arise, and deceive many;

12 and because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold.

13 But he that endures to the end, shall be saved.
