| Chapter 13 | |
| 1 | And as he 
went out of the 1temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what
manner of stones and what buildings are here!
 | 
| 2 | And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. | 
| 3 | And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, | 
| 4 | Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? | 
| 5 | And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: | 
| 6 | For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. | 
| 7 | And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the aend shall not be yet. | 
| 8 |  
1
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be earthquakes in adivers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: 
these are the beginnings of sorrows.
 | 
| 9 | But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to 
councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be 1beaten: and ye shall be brought 
before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
 | 
| 10 | And the gospel must first be published among all nations. | 
| 11 | But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought 
beforehand what ye shall 1speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall 
be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the
Holy Ghost.
 | 
| 12 | Now the 
1brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and 
children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to 
death.
 | 
| 13 | And ye shall 
be 1hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the aend, 
the same shall be saved.
 | 
| 14 | But when ye shall see the 1
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel 
the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,)
then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
 | 
| 15 | And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: | 
| 16 | And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. | 
| 17 | But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! | 
| 18 | And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. | 
| 19 | For in those 
days shall be 
1affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation
which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
 | 
| 20 | And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. | 
| 21 | And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: | 
| 22 | For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs 
and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
 | 
| 23 | But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. | 
| 24 | But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, | 
| 25 | And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in 
heaven shall be shaken.
 | 
| 26 | And then shall they see 
the Son of man coming in the clouds with great 
power and glory.
 | 
| 27 | And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. | 
| 28 | Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: | 
| 29 | So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. | 
| 30 | Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. | 
| 31 | Heaven and earth shall 1pass away: but my words shall 
not pass away.
 | 
| 32 | But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. | 
| 33 | Take ye heed, 1watch and pray: for ye know not when the time 
is.
 | 
| 34 | For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. | 
| 35 | Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: | 
| 36 | Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. | 
| 37 | And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. |
