Mark 13:1-8

1As he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings!”

2Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another — all will be thrown down.”

3While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

4“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”

5Jesus told them, “Watch out that no one deceives you.

6Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and they will deceive many.

7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed; these things must take place, but it is not yet the end.

8For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
