Matthew 24:1-14

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

1 aJesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, bthere will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Signs of the End of the Age

3As he sat on cthe Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him dprivately, saying, “Tell us, ewhen will these things be, and what will be the sign of your fcoming and of gthe end of the age?” 4And Jesus answered them, hSee that no one leads you astray. 5For imany will come in my name, saying, ‘I am jthe Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you kare not alarmed, for this lmust take place, but the end is not yet. 7For mnation will rise against nation, and nkingdom against kingdom, and there will be ofamines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are but the beginning of pthe birth pains.

9Then qthey will deliver you up rto tribulation and sput you to death, and tyou will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10And then many will fall away
Or stumble
and vbetray one another and hate one another.
11And many wfalse prophets will arise xand lead many astray. 12And because lawlessness will be increased, ythe love of many will grow cold. 13 zBut the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom aawill be proclaimed throughout the whole world abas a testimony acto all nations, and adthen the end will come.
