What massive stones What magnificent buildings    2Jesus replied , You see all these great buildings. The time is coming when not onestone here will be left upon another, all will be thrown down.   The apostles ask Jesus when this will happen  and what will be the sign of his return   3Later"

The apostles to suffer and testify before kings   5Jesus answered his apostles , As for yourselves, beware, for you will be hated by men for my sake. 6They will lay hands upon you and persecute you and will deliver youto synagogues and prisons to be flogged. You will stand before kings and governors for my"
"sake, and testimony to them of me. The Holy Spirit to give the apostles  words to speak   8When they bring you to trial, do not concern yourself beforehand with what to say. For at the right time you will be given words and wisdom they will not be able toresist or contradict.  It shall be the Holy Spirit speaking through you. Enduring to the end will bring Eternal Life   10But not a hair of your head will be lost. By enduring to the end you will gain Eternal Life.                                                                   The destruction of Jerusalem to  come within this generation"
"11And when you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies and the abominationthat causes defilement  set up where it does not belong, you will know that the destruction of Jerusalem is near.   Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those in Jerusalem escape from the city, and those out in thecountry not enter the city.  Let no one on the roof of their house enter the house to take anything out, nor anyone out in thefield return home to get their cloak.  Flee and do not turn back. Remember Lots wife.   15Pray that your flight not take place in winter, nor on the"
"Sabbath. For these will be days of wrath and distress in Judea and against this people unequalled from thebeginning of time, and never to be equalled again.    16It will be a time of punishment in fulfilment of that which has been written. Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days. 17And if God had not decreed that those days be cut short, none would survive, but for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen he has shortened them.   Truly all this will come upon this generation. Surviving Jews to be scattered to all nations   19Judea shall fall by the sword and the"
"survivors will be taken prisoner and scatteredto all nations. Jerusalem to be trampled on  by the Gentiles    Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. False Christs will arise   21And after those days beware that you are not deceived, for men will come in myname and say, I am he and will lead many astray.    If any say, Here is the Christ or There he is do not believe them. For false Christs will arise and perform signs and miracles to deceive the very elect if possible. 23Do not follow them. Be on guard. I have warned you ahead"
"of time. Nation to war against nation  and earthquakes, famines and plagues   24When you hear of wars and the sound of war, do not fear, for these things mustfirst take place. Nation will war against nation and there will be great earthquakes, famines and plagues in various places, andfearful events and great signs in the sky.    All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. False prophets to arise   26In those days many will turn from the faith and will betray and hate one another, and many false prophets will arise"
"and deceive many. Family members to take one others lives   27Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and take their lives. Wickedness to increase and  the love of most will grow cold   28Because of increased wickedness the love of most will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

"gospel of the kingdom will again be preached in all the world, as a testimony to all nations. Then the end will come. Great tribulation to come in final days  and the sun and moon will be darkened   30In the final days, immediately following great tribulation, The rising sun shall bedarkened and the moon will not shed its light, and the stars of the heavens will not be seen.  31And stars will fall from the heavens. Great waves of the sea will roar  and bring distress and terror   32Nations shall be in great distress at the roaring and great waves of the sea."
"People will faint with terror, fearful of what is coming on the earth for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. All nations will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory   34Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all nations of the earth shall mourn. 35They will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven withpower and great glory. Angels to gather the elect with loud trumpet call    He will send his angels with a loud trumpet call and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from"
"ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. Parable of the signs of the fig tree   37Learn this lesson from the fig tree. When its twigs become tender and leaves appear, you know that summer is near.   Even so, when all these things begin to be seen, people shall know that the Son of Man is near, even at the door. Christs coming to occur in the  generation in which all the signs are seen   39Truly I say to you, that generation will not pass away until all these things take place.   40The heavens and the earth shall pass away but my words will never pass away. No one knows the day"
"only the Father   41But that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son,only the Father.   One will be taken and the other left   42Two men will be in the field, one shall be taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding with a hand mill, one will be taken and the other left.   Therefore keep watch, for you know not on what day your Lord will return. The parable of the thief in the night   44For if the owner of the house had known what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.   So"

"The parable of the wise and foolish virgins   1In those days the kingdom of God will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise.   3The foolish virgins took their lamps but had no spare oil. The wise however tookspare oil in jars along with their lamps.    The bridegroom was a long time in                                                                   coming and they all fell asleep.

"midnight the cry rang out, The bridegroom is here Come out to meet him   All the virgins awoke and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, Give us some of your spare oil for ourlamps are going out.    But they replied, There may not be enough for both of us. Go rather to thosewho sell and buy for yourself.    So they went to buy oil, but while they were away the bridegroom arrived. The fivevirgins who were prepared went in with him to the wedding banquet.    Later the others came also and called out, Lord Lord Open the door for us.   9But he replied, I do not"
"know you.   10Therefore keep watch, for you know not the day or hour of my return. Israelite olive oil lamps. The parable of the talents   11Again in that day it will be like a man going on a journey who called his servantsand entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of silver.  To another two talents, and to another one talent. Eachaccording to his ability. Then he went on his journey.    The man who was given five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more talents. So also the one with the two talents, he gained two more. But the man who"
"had been given one talent went and dug a hole in the ground and buried his masters money.   After a long time the master of those servants returned. The man who had received five talents brought the other fiveand said, Master, you entrusted me with five talents. See I have gained five more.    His master replied, Well done my good and faithful servant. As you have been faithful with a few things I will set you over many things. Come enter into the joy ofyour master.    The man with the two talents also came forward and said, Master you entrusted mewith two talents. See, I have gained"
"two more.    His master replied, Well done my good and faithful servant. As you have beenfaithful with a few things I will set you over many things. Come enter into the joy of your master.  Then the man who had received one talent came forward and said, Master I knew you were a hard man, harvestingwhere you had not sown. So I feared and went out and buried your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.   His master replied, You wicked and lazy servant Why did you not at least invest my money with the"
"bankers so that when Ireturned I would receive it back with interest?    Take the one talent from him and give it to him who has ten talents. For to everyone who has, more will be given and they will have in abundance. But whoever has not,even what they have shall be taken from them.    And throw that worthless servant into outer darkness where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. At day of judgement people to  be separated like sheep from goats   22When the Son of Man has come in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will situpon his throne in heavenly glory.    Then"
"shall be gathered before him all the nations, and he will separate the peopleone from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  He will put the sheep on his right hand and the goats onhis left.  Caring people to inherit the kingdom of God   25The King will say to those on his right, Come you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creationof the world.

When did we see you a stranger and welcome you in, or naked and clothed you? When did wecare for you when sick or visit you in prison?    The King will reply, Truly I say to you, whenever you did it for the least of thesemy brothers, you did it for me. Uncaring people to inherit Eternal Punishment    Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me you cursed into the EternalFire  prepared for the devil and his angels.   30For I was"
"hungry and you would not feed me, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me in, I was naked and youdid not clothe me, I was sick, and in prison, and you did not care for me.    They will answer, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or needing clothes, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?   He will reply, Truly I say to you, whenever you did it not for the least of these brothers of mine, you did it not for me.   Then shall they go away into Eternal Punishment, but the righteous into Eternal Life. Floor"

But you will not always have me.   12She has done what she could. When she poured this perfumed oil on my body she did so to prepare me for burial.   13Truly, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.
