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 there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

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

8 A ll these are the beginning of sorrows.

But all these things are the beginning of travail.

9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

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.

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

18 A nd let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

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!

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 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.

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 rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, 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.

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, but My Father only.

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

37 B ut as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

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,

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 T herefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant

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

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

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 servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

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

47 A ssuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.

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