¹And as he is going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, ‘Teacher, see! what stones! and what buildings!’ ²and Jesus answering said to him, ‘Seest thou these great buildings? there may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may not be thrown down.’ ³And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself, ⁴‘Tell us when these things shall be? and what is the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?’

⁵And Jesus answering them, began to say, ‘Take heed lest any one may lead you astray, ⁶for many shall come in my name, saying—I am he, and many they shall lead astray; ⁷and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end is not yet; ⁸for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; beginnings of sorrows are these.

⁹‘And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them; ¹⁰and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed.
