13:1  As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!’
13:2  Then Jesus asked him, ‘Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.’
13:3  When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
13:4  ‘Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?’
13:5  Then Jesus began to say to them, ‘Beware that no one leads you astray.
13:6  Many will come in my name and say, “I am he!” and they will lead many astray.
13:7  When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come.
13:8  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.
13:9  ‘As for yourselves, beware; for they will hand you over to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them.
13:10  And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations.
13:11  When they bring you to trial and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say; but say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
13:12  Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
13:13  and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
13:14  ‘But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains;
13:15  someone on the housetop must not go down or enter the house to take anything away;
13:16  someone in the field must not turn back to get a coat.
13:17  Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days!
13:18  Pray that it may not be in winter.
13:19  For in those days there will be suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, no, and never will be.
13:20  And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut short those days.
13:21  And if anyone says to you at that time, “Look! Here is the Messiah!” or “Look! There he is!”—do not believe it.
13:22  False messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
13:23  But be alert; I have already told you everything.
13:24  ‘But in those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
13:25  and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
13:26  Then they will see “the Son of Man coming in clouds” with great power and glory.
13:27  Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
13:28  ‘From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
13:29  So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates.
13:30  Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.
13:31  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
13:32  ‘But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
13:33  Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come.
13:34  It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch.
13:35  Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn,
13:36  or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly.
13:37  And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.’
