5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts,

2 But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”

2 Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”

he said, 6 “As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”

the disciples came to him privately, saying,

Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

7 They asked him,

“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”

“Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”

4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’

5 Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. 6 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’

8 He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’

and, ‘The time is at hand.’

9 “Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake. 10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. 11 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray. 12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end will be saved. 14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

9 “But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. 10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations. 11 When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 13 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake. 13 It will turn out as a testimony for you. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer, 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict. 16 You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death. 17 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake. 18 And not a hair of your head will perish. 19 “By your endurance you will win your lives.

20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,

Let those who are in the middle of her depart.

17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.

15 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.

18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.

For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.

Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened. 23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

20 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days. 21 Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. 23 But you watch.

29 “But immediately after the suffering of those days,

24 But in those days, after that oppression,

the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky,

the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, 25 the stars will be falling from the sky,

25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars;

and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; 26 men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world,

and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

28 “Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;

37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, 39 and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

34 “So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly. 35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.

40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.

42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

33 Watch, keep alert, and pray;

36 Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.

for you don’t know when the time is.

That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

34 “It is like a man traveling to another country, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch. 35 Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming—whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning; 36 lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.

37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”
