Mark 13:1-8

1Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these tremendous stones and buildings!”

2Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!”

3So while he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

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

5Jesus began to say to them, “Watch out that no one misleads you.

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

7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

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