And Jesus went out, and was going from the temple; and his disciples came to him, to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 But, he, answering, said unto them—Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you—in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.
And he answering said to them, See ye not all these? Truly do I say to you, There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.
3 And, as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him, privately, saying—Tell us, when these things shall be, —and what the sign of thy presence, and the conclusion of the age. (aiōn g165)

4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them—Be taking heed, lest anyone, deceive, you;
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one deceive you.
5 For, many, will come upon my name, saying—I, am the Christ, —and will, deceive many.
For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many.
6 Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars, and rumours of wars: Mind! be not alarmed, for it must needs happen, —but, not yet, is, the end;

7 For there will arise—nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, —and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in divers places.
8 But, all these things, are a beginning of birth-pangs.
But all these things are the beginning of travail-pains.
9 Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you, —and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name
Then will they deliver you up to distress, and will kill you; and ye will be hated by all nations on account of my name.

And then will many fall away; and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many;
And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many.

16 Then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains;
then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
17 And, he that is on the house-top, let him not come down, to take away the things out of his house;
let not him that is on the house-top go down to take away the things belonging to his house;
18 And, he that is in the field, let him not turn back, to take away his mantle.

For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever be.
22 And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened.
And were not those days to shortened, no flesh would be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, these days will be shortened.
23 Then, if any, unto you, say—Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it;
Then if any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not.
24 For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets, —and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived: —
For there will rise up false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen will be deceived.

If therefore they say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not.

And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

So also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is near, at the doors.

37 For, just as the days of Noah, so, will be the presence of the Son of Man;
But as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
38 For, as they were in those days that were before the flood, feeding and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, —until the day Noah entered into the ark;
For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,

43 But there is, one thing, ye know—That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
But be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
44 Wherefore, ye also, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are, not thinking, The Son of Man doth come.
Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master hath appointed over his household, to give them food in season?

Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Verily, I say unto you—Over all his substance, will he appoint him.
Truly do I say to you, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.
48 But, if that wicked servant should say in his heart—My master, delayeth,
But if the bad servant say in his heart, My lord is tarrying long;
49 And begin to be striking his fellow-servants, and eating and drinking with the drunken,
and begin to beat his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken,
50 The master of that servant, will have come, on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not observing, —
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for it, and at an hour when he is not aware;
51 And will cut him asunder; and, his part, with the hypocrites, will appoint: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth!
and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
