Matthew 24:1-14

1 1Jesus 2came out from the temple and was going away 3when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, 4not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”

3As He was sitting on 5the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of 6Your coming, and of the 7end of the age?”

4And Jesus answered and said to them, “8See to it that no one misleads you. 5For 9many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the 10Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6You will be hearing of 11wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7For 12nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be 13famines and earthquakes. 8 14But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

9“15Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and 16you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10At that time many will 17 18fall away and will 19betray one another and hate one another. 11Many 20false prophets will arise and will mislead many. 12Because lawlessness is increased, 21most people’s love will grow cold. 13 22But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. 14This 23gospel of the kingdom 24shall be preached in the whole 25 26world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
