 aJesusg2424  bcameg1831 out from the templeg2413 and was goingg4198 awayg4198  1wheng2532 His disciplesg3101 cameg4334 up to pointg1925 out the templeg2413 buildingsg3619 to Him.

2

And He saidg3004 to them, "Do you not seeg991 allg3956 theseg3778 thingsg3778? Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you,  anot one stoneg3037 hereg5602 will be leftg863 upon anotherg3037, whichg3739 will not be torng2647 downg2647."

3

As He was sittingg2521 on  athe Mountg3735 of Olivesg1636, the disciplesg3101 cameg4334 to Him privatelyg2596g2398, sayingg3004, "Tellg3004 us, wheng4219 will theseg3778 thingsg3778 happeng1510, and whatg5101 will be the signg4592 of  bYour comingg3952, and of the  1endg4930 of the ageg165?"

4

And Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to them, aSeeg991 to it that nog3361 oneg5100 misleadsg4105 you.

5

"For  amanyg4183 will comeg2064 in My nameg3686, sayingg3004, `I amg1510 the  1Christg5547,' and will misleadg4105 manyg4183.

6

"You willg3195 be hearingg191 of  awarsg4171 and rumorsg189 of warsg4171. Seeg3708 that you are not frightenedg2360, for those things mustg1163 takeg1096 placeg1096, but that is not yetg3768 the endg5056.

7

"For  anationg1484 will riseg1453 againstg1909 nationg1484, and kingdomg932 againstg1909 kingdomg932, and in variousg2596 placesg5117 there will be  bfaminesg3042 and earthquakesg4578.

8

aBut allg3956 theseg3778 thingsg3778 are merely the beginningg746 of birthg5604 pangsg5604.

9

aTheng5119 they will deliverg3860 you to tribulationg2347, and will killg615 you, and  byou will be hatedg3404 by allg3956 nationsg1484 becauseg1223 of My nameg3686.

10

"At that timeg5119 manyg4183 will  1 afallg4624 awayg4624 and will  2betrayg3860 oneg240 anotherg240 and hateg3404 oneg240 anotherg240.

11

"Manyg4183  afalseg5578 prophetsg5578 will ariseg1453 and will misleadg4105 manyg4183.

12

"Becauseg1223 lawlessnessg458 is increasedg4129,  1mostg4183 people'sg4183 loveg26 will growg5594 coldg5594.

13

aBut the one who enduresg5278 to the endg5056, he will be savedg4982.

14

"Thisg3778  agospelg2098 of the kingdomg932  bshall be preachedg2784 in the wholeg3650  1 cworldg3625 as a testimonyg3142 to allg3956 the nationsg1484, and theng5119 the endg5056 will comeg2240.

Perilous Times

15

"Thereforeg3767 wheng3752 you seeg3708 the  aABOMINATIONg946 OF DESOLATIONg2050 which was spokeng3004 of throughg1223 Danielg1158 the prophetg4396, standingg2476 in  bthe holyg40 placeg5117clet the readerg314 understandg3539),

16

theng5119 thoseg3588 whog3588 are in Judeag2453 must fleeg5343 to the mountainsg3735.

17

1Whoeverg3588 is on  athe housetopg1430 must not gog2597 downg2597 to getg142 the things out that are in his houseg3614.

18

1Whoeverg3588 is in the fieldg68 must not turng1994 backg3694g1994 to getg142 his cloakg2440.

19

"But  awoeg3759 to thoseg3588 who are pregnantg1064 and to thoseg3588 who are nursingg2337 babiesg2337 in thoseg3588 daysg2250!

20

"But prayg4336 that your flightg5437 will not be in the winterg5494, org3366 on a Sabbathg4521.

21

"For theng5119 there will be a  agreatg3173 tribulationg2347, suchg3634 as has not occurredg1096 sinceg575 the beginningg746 of the worldg2889 untilg2193 nowg3568, norg3761 everg3756g3361 will.

22

"Unlessg1487 thoseg1565 daysg2250 had been cutg2856 shortg2856, nog3756g3956  1lifeg4561 would have been savedg4982; but for  athe sakeg1223 of the  2electg1588 thoseg1565 daysg2250 will be cutg2856 shortg2856.

23

aTheng5119 ifg1437 anyoneg5100 saysg3004 to you, `Beholdg2400, hereg5602 is the  1Christg5547,' org22282Thereg5602 He is,' do not believeg4100 him.

24

"For falseg5580 Christsg5580 and  afalseg5578 prophetsg5578 will ariseg1453 and will  1showg1325 greatg3173  2 bsignsg4592 and wondersg5059, sog5620 as to misleadg4105, ifg1487 possibleg1415, eveng2532  cthe  3electg1588.

25

"Beholdg2400, I have toldg4275b you in advanceg4275b.

26

"Sog3767 ifg1437 they sayg3004 to you, `Beholdg2400, He is in the wildernessg2048,' do not gog1831 out, or, `Beholdg2400, He is in the innerg5009 roomsg5009,' do not believeg4100 them.

27

aFor justg5618 as the lightningg796 comesg1831 from the eastg395 and flashesg5316 eveng2193 to the westg1424, sog3779 will the  bcomingg3952 of the  cSong5207 of Mang444 be.

28

aWhereverg3699g1437 the corpseg4430 is, thereg1563 the  1vulturesg105 will gatherg4863.

The Glorious Return

29

"But immediatelyg2112 afterg3326 the  atribulationg2347 of thoseg1565 daysg2250  bTHE SUNg2246 WILL BE DARKENEDg4654, AND THE MOONg4582 WILL NOT GIVEg1325 ITS LIGHTg5338, AND  cTHE STARSg792 WILL FALLg4098 from  1the skyg3772, and the powersg1411 of  1the heavensg3772 will be shakeng4531.

30

"And theng5119  athe signg4592 of the Song5207 of Mang444 will appearg5316 in the skyg3772, and theng5119 allg3956 the tribesg5443 of the earthg1093 will mourng2875, and they will seeg3708  bthe SONg5207 OF MANg444 COMINGg2064 ON THE CLOUDSg3507 OF THE SKYg3772 with powerg1411 and greatg4183 gloryg1391.

31

"And  aHe will sendg649 forthg649 His angelsg32a with  bA GREATg3173 TRUMPETg4536 and THEY WILL GATHERg1996 TOGETHERg1996 His  1 celectg1588 from  dthe fourg5064 windsg417, from one endg206 of the skyg3772 to the otherg206.

Parable of the Fig Tree

32

"Nowg1161 learng3129 the parableg3850b from the figg4808 treeg4808: wheng3752 its branchg2798 has alreadyg2235 becomeg1096 tenderg527 and putsg1631 forthg1631 its leavesg5444, you knowg1097 that summerg2330 is nearg1451;

33

sog3779, you toog2532, wheng3752 you seeg3708 allg3956 theseg3778 thingsg3778,  1recognizeg1097 that  2He is nearg1451, right  aat the  3doorg2374.

34

"Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you,  athisg3778  1generationg1074 will not passg3928 awayg3928 untilg2193 allg3956 theseg3778 thingsg3778 takeg1096 placeg1096.

35

aHeaveng3772 and earthg1093 will passg3928 awayg3928, but My wordsg3056 will not passg3928 awayg3928.

36

"But  aof that dayg2250 and hourg5610 nog3762 oneg3762 knowsg3609a, not eveng3761 the angelsg32a of heaveng3772, norg3761 the Song5207, but the Fatherg3962 aloneg3441.

37

"For  1the  acomingg3952 of the Song5207 of Mang444 will be  bjustg5618 likeg5618 the daysg2250 of Noahg3575.

38

"For as in thoseg1565 daysg2250 beforeg4253 the floodg2627 they were eatingg5176 and drinkingg4095,  amarryingg1060 and givingg1061a in marriageg1061a, untilg891 the dayg2250 that  bNoahg3575 enteredg1525 the arkg2787,

39

and they did not  1understandg1097 untilg2193 the floodg2627 cameg2064 and tookg142 them allg537a awayg142; sog3779 will the  acomingg3952 of the Song5207 of Mang444 be.

40

"Theng5119 there will be twog1417 meng1417 in the fieldg68; oneg1520  1will be takeng3880 and oneg1520  1will be leftg863.

41

aTwog1417 women will be grindingg229 at the  1 bmillg3458; oneg1520  2will be takeng3880 and oneg1520  2will be leftg863.

Be Ready for His Coming

42

"Thereforeg3767  abe on the alertg1127, for you do not knowg3609a whichg4169 dayg2250 your Lordg2962 is comingg2064.

43

"But  1be sureg1097 of thisg1565, that  aifg1487 the headg3617 of the houseg3617 had knowng3609a  bat whatg4169 timeg5438 of the nightg5438 the thiefg2812 was comingg2064, he would have been on the alertg1127 and would not have allowedg1439 his houseg3614 to be  2brokeng1358 into.

44

"For thisg3778 reasong1223  ayou alsog2532 must be readyg2092; for  bthe Song5207 of Mang444 is comingg2064 at an hourg5610 wheng3739 you do not thinkg1380 He will.

45

aWhog5101 theng686 is the  bfaithfulg4103 and  csensibleg5429 slaveg1401 whomg3739 his  1masterg2962  dputg2525 in chargeg2525 of his householdg3610a to giveg1325 them their foodg5160 at the properg2540 timeg2540?

46

"Blessedg3107 is that slaveg1401 whomg3739 his  1masterg2962 findsg2147 sog3779 doingg4160 when he comesg2064.

47

"Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you that  ahe will putg2525 him in chargeg2525 of allg3956 his possessionsg5225.

48

"But ifg1437 that evilg2556 slaveg1401 saysg3004 in his heartg2588, `My  1masterg2962  2is not comingg5549 for a longg5549 timeg5549,'

49

and beginsg757 to beatg5180 his fellowg4889 slavesg4889 and eatg2068 and drinkg4095 with drunkardsg3184;

50

the  1masterg2962 of that slaveg1401 will comeg2240 on a dayg2250 wheng3739 he does not expectg4328 him and at an hourg5610 whichg3739 he does not knowg1097,

51

and will  1cutg1371 him in piecesg1371 and  2assigng5087 him a placeg3313 with the hypocritesg5273; in that placeg3313 thereg1563 will be  aweepingg2805 and gnashingg1030 of teethg3599.
