THEN Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the building of the temple.

2 And Jesus said to them, ''Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olive, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ''Tell us, when will these sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: ''Take heed that no one decieve you.

5 ''For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,`and decieve many.

6 ''And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but end is not yet.

7 ''For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in various places.

8 ''All these are beginning of sorrows.

9 ''Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will he hated by all nations for My name`s sake.

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

11 ''Then many false prophets will rise up and decieve many.

12 ''And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

13 ''But he who endured to the end shall be saved.

14 ''And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15 ''Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,`spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stanading in the holy place"(whoever reads, let him 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 anything out of his house.

18 ''And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

19 ''But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those day.

20 ''And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.

21''For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 ''And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect`s sake those days will be shortened.

23 ''Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ !' or There !' do not believe it.

24 ''For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to decieve, if possible, even the elect.

25 ''See, I have told you beforehand.

26 ''There if any they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' Do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner room!' Do not believe it.

27 ''For as the lightening comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of Son of Man be.

28  ''For wherever the carcass is there the eagles will gathered togather.

29 ''Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven will be shaken.

30 ''Than the sign of the Son of Man coming on clouds of havean with power and great glory.

31 ''And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpt, and they willl gather togather His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32 ''Now learn this parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

33  '' So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors!

34 ''Assurdely, I say to you, this generation will by by no means pass away till all these things take place.

35 ''Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

36 ''But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

37 ''But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man.

38 ''For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in mirrage, until the day Noah entered the ark.

39 ''And did not know until the flood came and took them away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be,

40 ''Then two men will be in the feild: one will be taken and the other left.

41 ''Two woman will be grinding at mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42 ''Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

43 ''But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

44 ''Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

45 ''Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

46 ''Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

47 ''Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.

48 ''But if that evil servant say in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,'

49 ''And begins to beat his fellow servant, and to eat and drink with the drunkards.

50 ''The master of that sevant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of.

51 ''And will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites.There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. MATTHEW 24
