Matthew 24:2-12

2 But he answered them, "You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, ¹there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."

Signs of the Close of the Age

3 As he sat on ²the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him ³privately, saying, "Tell us, ⁴when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your ⁵coming and of ⁶the close of the age?"

4 And Jesus answered them, ⁷"See that no one leads you astray.

5 For ⁸many will come in my name, saying, 'I am ⁹the Christ,' and they will lead many astray.

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you ¹⁰are not alarmed, for this ¹¹must take place, but the end is not yet.

7 For ¹²nation will rise against nation, and ¹³kingdom against kingdom, and there will be ¹⁴famines and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are but the beginning of ¹⁵the birth pains.

9 "Then ¹⁶they will deliver you up ¹⁷to tribulation and ¹⁸put you to death, and ¹⁹you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then many will fall away^[a] and ²⁰betray one another and hate one another.

11 And many ²¹false prophets will arise ²²and lead many astray.

12 And because lawlessness will be increased, ²³the love of many will grow cold.
