3 And as he sat upon 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 all things are to be finished? 5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say, Take heed that no one deceive you, 6 for many shall come in my name, saying, I Am Christ, and shall deceive many. 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled, for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For people shall rise against people and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in each place, and there shall be famines and troubles: these shall be the beginnings of sorrows.
9 But take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up in the councils, and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten; and ye shall be called before rulers and kings for my sake for a testimony unto them. 10 And the gospel needs to be preached unto all the Gentiles first. 11 But when they shall bring you to deliver you up, do not premeditate beforehand what ye shall speak, neither think ye regarding it, but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 Now the brother shall deliver the brother unto death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents and shall kill them. 13 And ye shall be hated by everyone for my name, but he that shall persevere unto the end, the same shall be saved.
