MATTHEW Chapter 24 1 Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, "You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down." 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" 4 And Jesus answered them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: 8 all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs. 9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away, and betray one another, and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because wickedness is multiplied, most men's love will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come. 15 "So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; 17 let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house; 18 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. 19 And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 Then if any one says to you, 'Lo, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Lo, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, 'Lo, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; if they say, 'Lo, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. 28 Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together. 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; 30 then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; 31 and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 32 "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken and one is left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. 47 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed,' 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, 51 and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.

MARK Mark 13:1 And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!" Mark 13:2 And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down." Mark 13:3 And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Mark 13:4 "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?" Mark 13:5 And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. Mark 13:6 Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and they will lead many astray. Mark 13:7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet. Mark 13:8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs. Mark 13:9 "But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them. Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. Mark 13:11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. Mark 13:12 And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; Mark 13:13 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. Mark 13:14 "But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; Mark 13:15 let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away; Mark 13:16 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. Mark 13:17 And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! Mark 13:18 Pray that it may not happen in winter. Mark 13:19 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be. Mark 13:20 And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. Mark 13:21 And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. Mark 13:22 False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. Mark 13:23 But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand. Mark 13:24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, Mark 13:25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. Mark 13:26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. Mark 13:27 And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. Mark 13:28 "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. Mark 13:29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Mark 13:30 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place. Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Mark 13:32 "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Mark 13:33 Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come. Mark 13:34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. Mark 13:35 Watch therefore for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning Mark 13:36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. Mark 13:37 And what I say to you I say to all: Watch."

LUKE Luke 21:5 And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, Luke 21:6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." Luke 21:7 And they asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?" Luke 21:8 And he said, "Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and, 'The time is at hand!' Do not go after them. Luke 21:9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once." Luke 21:10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; Luke 21:11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. Luke 21:12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. Luke 21:13 This will be a time for you to bear testimony. Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer; Luke 21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. Luke 21:16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you they will put to death; Luke 21:17 you will be hated by all for my name's sake. Luke 21:18 But not a hair of your head will perish. Luke 21:19 By your endurance you will gain your lives. Luke 21:20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. Luke 21:21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it; Luke 21:22 for these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all that is written. Luke 21:23 Alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! For great distress shall be upon the earth and wrath upon this people; Luke 21:24 they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Luke 21:25 "And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, Luke 21:26 men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luke 21:27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 21:28 Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Luke 21:29 And he told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees; Luke 21:30 as soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. Luke 21:31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Luke 21:32 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all has taken place. Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Luke 21:34 "But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare; Luke 21:35 for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. Luke 21:36 But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of man."
