1: As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to
him, "Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!"
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."
3: When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the
temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, "Tell
us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these
things are about to be accomplished?"
2: Then Jesus began to say to them, "Beware that no one leads you
astray. Many will come in my name and say, 'I am he!' and they
will lead many astray.
(2:) When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed;
this must take place, but the end is still to come. 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 birthpangs.
