Matthew 24

¹And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple,

²and Jesus said to them, 'Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'

³And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, 'Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'

⁴And Jesus answering said to them, 'Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

⁵for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

⁶and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

⁷'For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;

⁸and all these [are] the beginning of sorrows;

⁹then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;

¹⁰and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

¹¹'And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;

¹²and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;
