[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.
