Mark 13:1-8

1 As Jesus was going out of the temple courtyard, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, look at these huge stones and these beautiful buildings!"
2 Jesus said to him, "Do you see these large buildings? Not one of these stones will be left on top of another. Each one will be torn down."
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives facing the temple buildings, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
4 "Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign when all this will come to an end?"
5 Jesus answered them, "Be careful not to let anyone deceive you.
6 Many will come using my name. They will say, 'I am he,' and they will deceive many people.
7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don't be alarmed! These things must happen, but they don't mean that the end has come.
8 Nation will fight against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes and famines in various places. These are only the beginning pains [of the end].
