Matthew 24:1-14
1Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
2But he answered them, "Don`t you see all of these things? Most assuredly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
3As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?"
4Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5For many will come in my name, saying, `I am the Christ,` and will lead many astray.
6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren`t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name`s sake.
10Then will many stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
12Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
14This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
