Matthew 24:1-18 ▼

1 And having gone out from the temple, Jesus was going, and His disciples came near to point out to Him the buildings of the temple.

2 And answering, He said to them, “Do you? not see all these things? Truly I say to you?, not one stone here shall be left upon a stone, which will not be thrown down.”

3 And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us when these things will be. And what is the sign of Your coming and the consummation of the age?”

4 And answering, Jesus said to them, “Take heed, lest anyone may lead you? astray.

5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.

6 And you? will begin to hear of wars and rumors of wars. Behold, do not be alarmed; for it is necessary to happen, but the end is not yet.

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

8 And all these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 Then they will deliver you? up to tribulation, and they will kill you?, and you? will be hated by all the nations because of My name.

10 And then many will be caused to stumble, and they will deliver up one another and will hate one another;

11 and many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.

12 And because lawlessness is to be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.

13 But the one having endured to the end, he will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15 Therefore, when you? shall see the ‘abomination of the desolation,’ having been spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (the one reading, let him understand),

16 then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

17 the one on the housetop, let him not come down to take away the things out of his house;

18 and the one in the field, let him not return back to take away his garment.
