Matthew 24:1-14

1 1Jesus 2left the temple area and was going on His way 3when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2But He responded and 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.”

3And as 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 9misleads you. 5For 10many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the 11Christ,’ and they will 12mislead many people. 6And you will be hearing of 13wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7For 14nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be 15famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 16But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.

9“17Then they will hand you over to tribulation and kill you, and 18you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10And at that time many will 19 20fall away, and they will 21betray one another and hate one another. 11And many 22false prophets will rise up and 23mislead many people. 12And because lawlessness is increased, 24most people’s love will become cold. 13 25But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. 14This 26gospel of the kingdom 27shall be preached in the whole 28 29world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
