1 耶稣从殿里出来的时候， 有一个门徒对他说： "老师， 请看， 这是多么美好的石头！ 多么美好的建筑！ "
2 耶稣对他说： "你看见这些伟大的建筑吗？将来必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面， 每一块都要拆下来。"
3 耶稣在橄榄山上， 面对圣殿坐着， 彼得、雅各、约翰和安得烈私下问他：
4 "请告诉我们， 什么时候会有这些事呢？这一切事将要成就的时候有什么预兆呢？"
5 耶稣就告诉他们说： "你们要小心， 不要被人迷惑。
6 有许多人要来， 假冒我的名说‘我就是基督’， 并且要迷惑许多的人。
7 你们听见战争和战争的风声， 也不要惊慌， 这是免不了的， 不过， 结局还没有到。
8 一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族， 一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家， 到处要有地震， 有饥荒， 这些不过是痛苦的开始。
9 但你们要小心！ 因为人要把你们交给公议会， 你们要在会堂里被鞭打， 又要为我的缘故站在总督和君王面前， 向他们作见证。
10 然而福音必须先传给万民。
11 人把你们捉去送官的时候， 用不着预先思虑要说什么， 到那时候赐给你们什么话， 你们就说什么， 因为说话的不是你们， 而是圣灵。
12 弟兄要出卖弟兄， 父亲要出卖儿子， 甚至把他们置于死地； 儿女要悖逆父母， 害死他们。
13 你们为我的名， 要被众人恨恶， 然而坚忍到底的必然得救。
14 "当你们看见‘那造成荒凉的可憎者’， 站在不该站的地方（读者必须领悟）， 那时， 住在犹太的应当逃到山上；
15 在房顶的不要下来， 也不要进到屋子里拿什么东西；
16 在田里的也不要回去取衣服。
17 当那些日子， 怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了！
18 你们应当祈求， 不要让这些事在冬天发生。
19 因为那些日子必有灾难， 这是从 神创世的开始到现在未曾有过的， 以后也必不会再有。
20 如果不是主减少那些日子， 没有一个人可以存活； 但是为了自己的选民， 他必使那些日子减少。
21 那时， 如果有人对你们说： ‘看哪， 基督在这里！ 看哪， 他在那里！ ’你们不要信。
22 因为必有假基督和假先知出现， 行神迹和奇事， 如果可以的话， 连选民也要迷惑了。
23 所以你们应当小心！ 我已经事先把一切都告诉你们了。
24 "当那些日子， 在那灾难以后， 太阳就变黑了， 月亮也不发光，
25 众星从天坠落， 天上的万象震动。
26 那时， 他们要看见人子， 满有能力和荣耀， 驾着云降临；
27 他要差派天使， 把他的选民从四方， 从地极直到天边， 都招聚来。
28 "你们应该从无花果树学个功课： 树枝发出嫩芽长出叶子的时候， 你们就知道夏天近了。
29 同样， 你们什么时候看见这些事发生， 就知道他已经近在门口了。
30 我实在告诉你们， 这一切都必会发生， 然后这世代才会过去。
31 天地都要过去， 但我的话决不会废去。
32 "至于那日子和时间， 没有人知道， 连天上的天使和子也不知道， 只有父知道。
33 你们要小心， 要警醒， 因为你们不知道那日期什么时候来到。
34 这就像一个人出外远行， 把责任（"责任"原文作"权柄"）一一地交给他的仆人， 又吩咐看门的要警醒。
35 所以你们要警醒， 因为你们不知道家主什么时候来到， 也许在黄昏， 也许在半夜， 也许在鸡叫时， 也许在清晨。
36 恐怕他忽然来到， 发现你们正在睡觉。
37 我对你们所说的话， 也是对众人说的， ‘你们要警醒’。"
1 And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings! 2 And Jesus said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished? 5 And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 6 Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray. 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail.
9 But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations. 11 And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains: 15 and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: 16 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 17 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 18 And pray ye that it be not in the winter. 19 For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be. 20 And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe it not: 22 for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 29 even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch. 35 Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning; 36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
