³As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign that you are coming again, and when will the world come to an end?”

⁴Jesus answered them, “Be careful not to let anyone deceive you. ⁵Many will come using my name. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many people.

⁶“You will 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. ⁷Nation will fight against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸All of these are only the beginning pains ⸤of the end⸥.

⁹“Then they will hand you over to those who will torture and kill you. All nations will hate you because you are committed to me. ¹⁰Then many will lose faith. They will betray and hate each other. ¹¹Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. ¹²And because there will be more and more lawlessness, most people’s love will grow cold. ¹³But the person who endures to the end will be saved.

¹⁴“This Good News about the kingdom will be spread throughout the world as a testimony to all nations. Then the end will come.
