Matthew 24
Bible in Basic English
1And Jesus went out of the Temple, and on the way his disciples came to him, pointing out the buildings of the Temple.
2But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.
3And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?
4And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.
5For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.
6And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.
7For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;
8But all these things are the first of the troubles.
9Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.
10And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.
11And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.
12And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.
