And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

And as He was sitting on (A)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of (B)Your coming, and of the [a]end of the age?”

And Jesus answered and said to them, (C)See to it that no one [b]misleads you. For (D)many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the [c]Christ,’ and they will [d]mislead many people. And you will be hearing of (E)wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For (F)nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (G)famines and earthquakes in various places. (H)But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.

(I)Then they will hand you over to tribulation and kill you, and (J)you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10 And at that time many will [e](K)fall away, and they will [f]betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many (L)false prophets will rise up and [g]mislead many people. 12 And because lawlessness is increased, [h]most people’s love will become cold. 13 (M)But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. 14 This (N)gospel of the kingdom (O)shall be preached in the whole [i](P)world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Signs of the End of the Age

As he sat on (A)the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him (B)privately, saying, “Tell us, (C)when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your (D)coming and of (E)the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, (F)“See that no one leads you astray. For (G)many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am (H)the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you (I)are not alarmed, for this (J)must take place, but the end is not yet. For (K)nation will rise against nation, and (L)kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (M)famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of (N)the birth pains.

“Then (O)they will deliver you up (P)to tribulation and (Q)put you to death, and (R)you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and (S)betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many (T)false prophets will arise (U)and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, (V)the love of many will grow cold. 13 (W)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom (X)will be proclaimed throughout the whole world (Y)as a testimony (Z)to all nations, and (AA)then the end will come.
