ame, saying: I am he; and will
lead many astray. (7)And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of
wars, be not troubled, for it must come to pass; but not yet is the
end. (8)For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom; and there will be earthquakes in divers places, and there
will be famines and commotions; these are the beginning of sorrows.

(9)But do ye take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to
councils, and in the synagogues ye will be beaten; and ye will be
brought before governors and kings for my sake for a testimony to
them. (10)And the good news must first be preached among all the
nations.

(11)But when they lead you away to deliver you up, take not thought
beforehand what ye shall speak nor premeditate; but whatever shall be
given you in that hour, that speak; for it is not ye that speak, but
the Holy Spirit. (12)And the brother will deliver up the brother to
death, and the father the child; and children will rise up against
parents, and will put them to death. (13)And ye will be hated by all
for my name's sake; but he that has endured unto the end, the same
shall be saved.

(14)But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it
ought not, (let him that reads, mark!) then let those in Judaea flee

down into the house, nor enter in to take anything out of his house.
(16)And he that is in the field, let him not turn back to take his
garment.

(17)But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in
those days! (18)And pray that it be not in the winter. (19)For in
those days will be affliction, such as has not been from the beginning
of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be. (20)And
if the Lord had not shortened those days, no flesh would have been
saved; but for the sake of the chosen, whom he chose, he shortened the
days.

(21)And then if any one say to you: Lo, here is the Christ, or Lo,
there, believe not. (22)For false Christs and false prophets will
arise, and will show signs and wonders, so as to lead, if possible,
even the chosen astray. (23)But do ye take heed; I have foretold you
all.

(24)But in those days, after that affliction, the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light; (25)and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the powers that are in heaven shall be
shaken. (26)And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds,
