Matthew 24:3-13

3 As He was sitting on 1the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately *, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of 2Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, "3See to it that no one misleads you.
5 "For 4many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.
6 "You will be hearing of 5wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.
7 "For 6nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be 7famines and earthquakes.
8 "8But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
9 "9Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and 10you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
10 "At that time many will 11fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.
11 "Many 12false prophets will arise and will mislead many.
12 "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.
