Dual Panel1Now <2532> as <1607> Jesus <846> was going out <1607> of <1537> the temple courts <2411>, one <1520> of his <846> disciples <3101> said <3004> to him <846>, “Teacher <1320>, look at <1492> these tremendous <4217> stones <3037> and <2532> buildings <3619>!”
2Jesus <2424> said <2036> to him <846>, “Do you see <991> these <3778> great <3173> buildings <3619>? Not <3756> one stone <3037> will be left <863> on <1909> another <3037>. All will be torn down <2647>!”
3So <2532> while <2521> he <846> was sitting <2521> on <1519> the Mount <3735> of Olives <1636> opposite <2713> the temple <2411>, Peter <4074>, James <2385>, John <2491>, and <2532> Andrew <406> asked <1905> him <846> privately <2596> <2398>,
4“Tell <3004> us <2254>, when <4219> will <1510> these things <5023> happen <1510>? And <2532> what <5101> will be the sign <4592> that <3752> all <3956> these things <5023> are <4931> about <3195> to take place <4931>?”
5Jesus <2424> began <756> to say <3004> to them <846>, “Watch out <991> that no <3361> one <5100> misleads <4105> you <5209>.
6Many <4183> will come <2064> in <1909> my <3450> name <3686>, saying <3004>, ‘I <1473> am <1510> he,’ and <2532> they will mislead <4105> many <4183>.
7When <3752> you hear <191> of wars <4171> and <2532> rumors <189> of wars <4171>, do <2360> not <3361> be alarmed <2360>. These things must <1163> happen <1096>, but <235> the end <5056> is still to come <3768>.
8For <1063> nation <1484> will rise up <1453> in arms against <1909> nation <1484>, and <2532> kingdom <932> against <1909> kingdom <932>. There will be <1510> earthquakes <4578> in <2596> various places <5117>, and there will be <1510> famines <3042>. These are but the beginning <746> of birth pains <5604>.
9“You must watch out <991> for yourselves <1438>. You <5209> will be handed over <3860> to <1519> councils <4892> and <2532> beaten <1194> in <1519> the synagogues <4864>. You will stand <2476> before <1909> governors <2232> and <2532> kings <935> because of <1752> me <1700>, as <1519> a witness <3142> to them <846>.
10First <4412> the gospel <2098> must <1163> be preached <2784> to <1519> all <3956> nations <1484>.
11When <3752> they arrest <71> you <5209> and hand <3860> you over <3860> for trial, do not <3361> worry <4305> about what <5101> to speak <2980>. But <235> say <2980> whatever <3739> <1437> is given <1325> you <5213> at <1722> that <1565> time <5610>, for <1063> it is <1510> not <3756> you <5210> speaking <2980>, but <235> the Holy <40> Spirit <4151>.
12Brother <80> will hand over <3860> brother <80> to <1519> death <2288>, and <2532> a father <3962> his child <5043>. Children <5043> will rise <1881> against <1909> parents <1118> and <2532> have <2289> them <846> put to death <2289>.
13You will be <1510> hated <3404> by <5259> everyone <3956> because <1223> of my <3450> name <3686>. But <1161> the one who endures <5278> to <1519> the end <5056> will be saved <4982>.
14“But <1161> when <3752> you see <1492> the abomination <946> of desolation <2050> standing <2476> where <3699> it should <1163> not <3756> be <1163> (let the reader <314> understand <3539>), then <5119> those in <1722> Judea <2449> must flee <5343> to <1519> the mountains <3735>.
15The one on <1909> the roof <1430> must <2597> not <3361> come down <2597> or <3366> go inside <1525> to take <142> anything <5100> out of <1537> his <846> house <3614>.
16The one in <1519> the field <68> must <1994> not <3361> turn <1994> back <3694> to <1519> get <142> his <846> cloak <2440>.
17Woe <3759> to those who are pregnant <1722> <1064> <2192> and <2532> to those who are nursing <2337> their babies in <1722> those <1565> days <2250>!
18Pray <4336> that <2443> it may <1096> not <3361> be <1096> in winter <5494>.
19For <1063> in those <1565> days <2250> there will be <1510> suffering <2347> unlike <3634> <3756> anything <5108> that has happened <1096> from <575> the beginning <746> of the creation <2937> that <3739> God <2316> created <2936> until <2193> now <3568>, or <2532> <3756> <3361> ever will happen <1096>.
20And <2532> if <1487> the Lord <2962> had <2856> not <3361> cut short <2856> those days <2250>, no <3756> one <302> would be saved <4982>. But <235> because of <1223> the elect <1588>, whom <3739> he chose <1586>, he has cut <2856> them <2250> short <2856>.
21Then <5119> if <1437> anyone <5100> says <3004> to you <5213>, ‘Look <1492>, here <5602> is the Christ <5547>!’ or ‘Look <1492>, there <1563> he is!’ do <4100> not <3361> believe <4100> him.
22For <1063> false messiahs <5580> and <2532> false prophets <5578> will appear <1453> and <2532> perform <1325> signs <4592> and <2532> wonders <5059> to <4314> deceive <635>, if <1487> possible <1415>, the elect <1588>.
23Be careful <991>! I have told <4280> you <5213> everything <3956> ahead of time <4280>.
24“But <235> in <1722> those <1565> days <2250>, after <3326> that <1565> suffering <2347>, the sun <2246> will be darkened <4654> and <2532> the moon <4582> will <1325> not <3756> give <1325> its <846> light <5338>;
25the stars <792> will be <1510> falling <4098> from <1537> heaven <3772>, and <2532> the powers <1411> in <1722> the heavens <3772> will be shaken <4531>.
26Then <5119> everyone will see <3700> the Son <5207> of Man <444> arriving <2064> in <1722> the clouds <3507> with <3326> great <4183> power <1411> and <2532> glory <1391>.
27Then <5119> he will send <649> angels <32> and <2532> they will gather <1996> his <846> elect <1588> from <1537> the four <5064> winds <417>, from <575> the ends <206> of the earth <1093> to <2193> the ends <206> of heaven <3772>.
28“Learn <3129> this parable <3850> from <575> the fig tree <4808>: Whenever <3752> its <846> branch <2798> becomes <1096> tender <527> and <2532> puts out <1631> its leaves <5444>, you know <1097> that <3754> summer <2330> is <1510> near <1451>.
29So <3779> also <2532> you <5210>, when <3752> you see <1492> these things <5023> happening <1096>, know <1097> that <3754> he is <1510> near, right <1451> at <1909> the door <2374>.
30I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, this <3778> generation <1074> will <3928> not <3756> <3361> pass away <3928> until <3360> all <3956> these things <5023> take place <1096>.
31Heaven <3772> and <2532> earth <1093> will pass away <3928>, but <1161> my <3450> words <3056> will <3928> never <3756> pass away <3928>.
32“But <1161> as <4012> for that <1565> day <2250> or <2228> hour <5610> no one <3762> knows <1492> it– neither <3761> the angels <32> in <1722> heaven <3772>, nor <3761> the Son <5207>– except <1487> <3361> the Father <3962>.
33Watch out <991>! Stay alert <69>! For <1063> you do <1492> not <3756> know <1492> when <4219> the time <2540> will come <1510>.
34It is like <5613> a man <444> going on a journey <590>. He left <863> his <846> house <3614> and <2532> put <1325> his <846> slaves <1401> in charge, assigning <1849> to each <1538> his <846> work <2041>, and <2532> commanded <1781> the doorkeeper <2377> to <2443> stay alert <1127>.
35Stay alert <1127>, then <3767>, because <1063> you do <1492> not <3756> know <1492> when <4219> the owner <2962> of the house <3614> will return <2064>– whether during evening <3796>, at midnight <3317>, when the rooster crows <219>, or <2228> at dawn <4404>–
36or else he might find <2147> you <5209> asleep <2518> when <2064> he returns <2064> suddenly <1810>.
37What <3739> I say <3004> to you <5213> I say <3004> to everyone <3956>: Stay alert <1127>!”
