[7] And they asked him, saying, Master, but when and what sign will there be when shall come to pass? [8] And he said, Take heed not deceived: for many shall come in name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not after them. [9] But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, not terrified: for must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. [10] Then unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: [11] And great earthquakes in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs from heaven. [12] But before they shall lay their hands on and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, before kings and rulers name's sake. [13] it shall turn for a testimony. [14] Settle it therefore hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: [15] For I will give a mouth and wisdom, which adversaries not be able resist. [16] And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of shall they cause to be put to death. [17] And hated of all men for name's sake. [18] But an hair of head perish. [19] In patience possess ye souls. [20] And when Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. [21] Then which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and which are in the midst of it depart out; and not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. [22] For these the days of vengeance, that all things which are written [23] woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for great distress in the land, and wrath upon people. [24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. [25] And signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves [26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up heads; for redemption draweth nigh. [29] And he spake to them a parable; the fig tree, and all the trees; [30] When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer now nigh at hand. [31] So likewise when come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God nigh at hand. [32] Verily I say This generation pass away, till all be fulfilled. [33] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but words pass away. [34] And take heed to yourselves, hearts with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon unawares. [35] For shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. [36] Watch ye and pray always, that to escape all that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
