1 And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!
2 And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, It is *I*, and shall mislead many.
7 But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for {this} must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in {different} places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things {are the} beginnings of throes.
9 But *ye*, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them;
10 and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
11 But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, {nor prepare your discourse}: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for *ye* are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit.
12 But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider {it},) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;
15 and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter {into it} to take away anything out of his house;
16 and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
17 But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18 And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19 for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since {the} beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be;
20 and if {the} Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.
21 And then if any one say to you, Lo, here {is} the Christ, or Lo, there, believe {it} not.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 But do *ye* take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;
25 and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which 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 his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
28 But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
29 Thus also *ye*, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
31 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
32 But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33 Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
34 {it is} as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
35 Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;
36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
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’。"
