Matthew 24:1–14 (LEB)
1And as Jesus went out of the temple courts he was going along, and his disciples came up to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
2But he answered and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left here on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
3And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4And Jesus answered and said to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you!
5For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many.
6And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9“Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
10And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another,
11and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many,
12and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.
13But the one who endures to the end—this person will be saved.
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
