1
As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!"
2
"You see all these great buildings?" Jesus replied; "not one stone will be left here upon another--not thrown down."
3
He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,
4
"Tell us, When will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?"
5
So Jesus began to say to them: "Take care that no one misleads you.
6
Many will come assuming my name and saying, `I am He;' and they will mislead many.
7
But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.
8
For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.
9
"You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.
10
But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all the Gentiles before the End comes.
