1And Jesus went out, and departed from the
temple: and his disciples came to him for
to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2And Jesus said unto them, See
ye not all these things? verily I say unto you,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the
disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us,
when shall these things be? and what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man deceive you.
5For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and
shall deceive many.
6And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that
ye be not troubled: for all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not
yet.
7For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8All
these are the
beginning of sorrows.
9Then
shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall
kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for
my name's sake.
10And
then shall many be offended, and shall betray one
another, and shall hate one another.
11And
many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
many.
12And
because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.
13But
he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.
14And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all nations; and then
shall the end come.
15When
ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
16Then
let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17Let
him which is on the housetop not come down to take
any thing out of his house:
18Neither
let him which is in the field return back to take
his clothes.
19And
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that
give suck in those days!
20But
pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the sabbath day:
21For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the beginning of the world to this time, no,
nor ever shall be.
22And
except those days should be shortened, there should
no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those
days shall be shortened.
23Then
if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ,
or there; believe it not.
24For
there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it
were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
25Behold,
I have told you before.
26Wherefore
if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he
is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth
even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.
28For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.
29Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and
the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of
the heavens shall be shaken:
30And
then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in
the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And
he shall send his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the
other.
32Now
learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is
yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that
summer is nigh:
33So
likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at
the doors.
34Verily
I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.
35Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not
pass away.
36But
of that day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37But
as the days of Noe were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38For
as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the
ark,
39And
knew not until the flood came, and took them all
away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40Then
shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
41Two women
shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
42Watch
therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
come.
43But
know this, that if the goodman of the house had
known in what watch the thief would come, he would
have watched, and would not have suffered his house
to be broken up.
44Therefore
be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.
45Who
then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord
hath made ruler over his household, to give them
meat in due season?
46Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
47Verily
I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over
all his goods.
48But
and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My
lord delayeth his coming;
49And
shall begin to smite his fellowservants,
and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50The
lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51And
shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his
portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
