Things to Come

1 aAs He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples * said to Him, “Teacher, behold 1what wonderful stones and 1what wonderful buildings!”

2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? aNot one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down.”

3 As He was sitting on athe Mount of Olives opposite the temple, bPeter and 1James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,

4 “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the 1sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?”

5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you.

6 “Many will come in My name, saying, ‘aI am He!’ and will mislead many.

7 “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

8 “For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
