Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple
1 Then aJesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, anot one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, athe disciples came to Him privately, saying, b“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: a“Take heed that no one deceives you.
6 And you will hear of awars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for1 all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For anation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be bfamines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
9 a“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
13 aBut he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 And this agospel of the kingdom bwill be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
The Great Tribulation
15 a“Therefore when you see the b‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” c(whoever reads, let him understand),
16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.
