Mateus 24

"A beginning of birth pains"

3 Now as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately saying: "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming and of the completion of the age?"*There are two questions: "When these things?" and "What the sign?" The answer to the first is given in Luke 21:20-24. The answer to the second begins here in verse 5. 4 So in answer Jesus said to them: "Watch out, so that no one deceives you. 5 Because many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many. 6 You will be concerned when you hear*I follow the best line of transmission, with 25% of the Greek manuscripts, in reading "You will be concerned when you hear", instead of ‘you will be about to hear’ (more or less followed by most versions). of wars and rumors of wars; see to it that you not get worked up; for all of it has to happen, but the end is not yet.
