3 And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:

4 Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?

5 And Jesus answering, began to say to them: Take heed lest any man deceive you.

6 For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many.

7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be: but the end is not yet.
