1 ^cAnd as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will ^dnot be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

3 ^eAnd as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but ^fthe end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

9 ^g“But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to ^hcouncils, and you will be beaten in ⁱsynagogues, and you will stand before ^jgovernors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be ^kproclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, ^ldo 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 ^mHoly Spirit. 12 And ⁿbrother will deliver brother over to ^odeath, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. ^pBut the one who endures to the end will be saved.
