1. And as he was departing from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, observe these fine stones and fine structures."
2. And in response, Jesus said to him: "Do you see all these great buildings? There shall not be left stone upon stone, which is not torn down."
3. And as he sat at the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew questioned him privately.
4. "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things will begin to be fulfilled?"
5. And Jesus, answering, began to say to them: "See to it that no one leads you astray.
6. For many will come in my name, saying, 'For I am he,' and they will lead many astray.
7. But when you will have heard of wars and rumors of wars, you should not be afraid. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
8. For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom over kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are but the beginning of the sorrows.
9. But see to yourselves. For they will hand you over to councils, and in the synagogues you will be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony for them.
10. And the Gospel must first be preached to all nations.
11. And when they have seized you and handed you over, do not consider in advance what to say. But whatever will be given you in that hour, say that. For you will not be speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
