1 J esus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him.

And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.

2 A nd He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”

But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 A s He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 A nd Jesus answered and said to them, “ See to it that no one misleads you.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

5 F or many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray.

6 Y ou will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.

7 F or nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.

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

8 B ut all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

But all these things are the beginning of travail.

9 Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

10 A t that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

11 M any false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.

12 B ecause lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.

And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold.

13 B ut the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

14 T his gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Perilous Times

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.

15 Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place ( let the reader understand),

When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),

16 t hen those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains:

17 W hoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.

let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house:

18 W hoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.

and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

19 B ut woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

20 B ut pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.

And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath:

21 F or then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.

for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.

22 U nless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23 T hen if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘ There He is,’ do not believe him.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not.

24 F or false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

25 B ehold, I have told you in advance.

Behold, I have told you beforehand.

26 S o if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them.

If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe it not.

27 F or just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

28 W herever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. The Glorious Return

Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 A nd then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and 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.

and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 A nd He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. Parable of the Fig Tree

And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32 Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;

Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;

33 s o, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors.

34 T ruly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished.

35 H eaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.

37 F or the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.

And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

38 F or as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

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 ark,

39 a nd they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

40 T hen there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.

Then shall two man be in the field; one is taken, and one is left:

41 T wo women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Be Ready for His Coming

two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.

42 Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.

43 B ut be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.

44 F or this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

46 B lessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 T ruly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.

48 B ut if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is not coming for a long time,’

But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;

49 a nd begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;

and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;

50 t he master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,

the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,

51 a nd will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
