1 And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here.	1 As he was leaving the Temple one of his disciples said to him, 'Master, look at the size of thosestones! Look at the size of those buildings!'
2 And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.	2 And Jesus said to him, 'You see these great buildings? Not a single stone wil be left on another;everything wil be pul ed down.'
3 And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart:	3 And while he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter, James, John and Andrewquestioned him when they were by themselves,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled?	4 'Tel us, when is this going to happen, and what sign wil there be that it is all about to take place?'
5 And Jesus answering, began to say to them, Take heed lest any man deceive you.	5 Then Jesus began to tel them, 'Take care that no one deceives you.
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and they shall deceive many.	6 Many wil come using my name and saying, "I am he," and they wil deceive many.
7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be, but the end is not yet.	7 When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed; this is something that must happen,but the end wil not be yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.	8 For nation wil fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There wil be earthquakes in variousplaces; there wil be famines. This is the beginning of the birth-pangs.
9 But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.	9 'Be on your guard: you wil be handed over to sanhedrins; you wil be beaten in synagogues; and you wil be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as evidence to them,
10 And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.	10 since the gospel must first be proclaimed to al nations.
11 And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.	11 'And when you are taken to be handed over, do not worry beforehand about what to say; no, saywhatever is given to you when the time comes, because it is not you who wil be speaking; it is the Holy Spirit.
12 And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against the parents, and shall work their death.	12 Brother wil betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will come forward against theirparents and have them put to death.
13 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.	13 You wil be universal y hated on account of my name; but anyone who stands firm to the end wil besaved.
14 And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not: he that readeth let him understand: then let them that are in Judea, flee unto the mountains:	14 'When you see the appal ing abomination set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand),then those in Judaea must escape to the mountains;
15 And let him that is on the housetop, not go down into the house, nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house:	15 if a man is on the housetop, he must not come down or go inside to col ect anything from his house;
16 And let him that shall be in the field, not turn back to take up his garment.	16 if a man is in the fields, he must not turn back to fetch his cloak.
17 And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.	17 Alas for those with child, or with babies at the breast, when those days come!
18 But pray ye, that these things happen not in winter.	18 Pray that this may not be in winter.
19 For in those days shall be such tribulations, as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be.	19 For in those days there will be great distress, unparalleled since God created the world, and such aswil never be again.
20 And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.	20 And if the Lord had not shortened that time, no human being would have survived; but he did shortenthe time, for the sake of the elect whom he chose.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; lo, he is here: do not believe.	21 'And if anyone says to you then, "Look, here is the Christ" or, "Look, he is there," do not believe it;
22 For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect.	22 for false Christs and false prophets wil arise and produce signs and portents to deceive the elect, ifthat were possible.
23 Take you heed therefore; behold I have foretold you all things.	23 You, therefore, must be on your guard. I have given you full warning.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light.	24 'But in those days, after that time of distress, the sun wil be darkened, the moon wil not give its light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven, shall be moved.	25 the stars will come falling out of the sky and the powers in the heavens wil be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.	26 And then they wil see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.	27 And then he wil send the angels to gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the world tothe ends of the sky.
28 Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near.	28 'Take the fig tree as a parable: as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out, you knowthat summer is near.
29 So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors.	29 So with you when you see these things happening: know that he is near, right at the gates.
30 Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, until all these things be done.	30 In truth I tel you, before this generation has passed away al these things will have taken place.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.	31 Sky and earth wil pass away, but my words wil not pass away.
32 But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.	32 'But as for that day or hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son; no one butthe Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray. For ye know not when the time is.	33 'Be on your guard, stay awake, because you never know when the time wil come.
34 Even as a man who going into a far country, left his house; and gave authority to his servants over every work, and commanded the porter to watch.	34 It is like a man travel ing abroad: he has gone from his home, and left his servants in charge, eachwith his own work to do; and he has told the doorkeeper to stay awake.
35 Watch ye therefor, (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh: at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning,)	35 So stay awake, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming, evening,midnight, cockcrow or dawn;
36 Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.	36 if he comes unexpectedly, he must not find you asleep.
37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.	37 And what I am saying to you I say to al : Stay awake!'
