Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

‹Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.›

[Ye] ‹serpents,› [ye] ‹generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?›

‹Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and› [some] ‹of them ye shall kill and crucify; and› [some] ‹of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute› [them] ‹from city to city:›

‹That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.›

‹Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.›

‹O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,› [thou] ‹that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under› [her] ‹wings, and ye would not!›

‹Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.›

‹For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed› [is] ‹he that cometh in the name of the Lord.›

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

And Jesus said unto them, ‹See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.›

And Jesus answered and said unto them, ‹Take heed that no man deceive you.›

‹For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.›

‹And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all› [these things] ‹must come to pass, but the end is not yet.›

‹For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.›

‹All these› [are] ‹the beginning of sorrows.›

‹Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.›

‹And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.›

‹And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.›

‹And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.›

‹But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.›
