Mark

²And Jesus replied to him, You see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be loosened and torn down. ³And as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple [enclosure], Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately, ⁴Tell us when is this to take place and what will be the sign when these things, all [of them], are about to be accomplished? ⁵And Jesus began to tell them, Be careful and watchful that no one misleads you [about it]. ⁶Many will come in [appropriating to themselves] the name [of Messiah] which belongs to Me [basing their claims on the use of My name], saying, I am [He]! And they will mislead many. ⁷And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not get alarmed (troubled and frightened); it is necessary [that these things] take place, but the end is not yet. ⁸For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines and calamities. This is but the beginning of the intolerable anguish and suffering [only the first of the birth pangs].
