Context of Mark 13:5

3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives facing the temple buildings, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, 4“Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign when all this will come to an end?” Jesus answered them, “Be careful not to let anyone deceive you. 6Many will come using my name. They will say, ‘I am he,’ and they will deceive many people. 7“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed! These things must happen, but they don’t mean that the end has come.
