ou; [24:5]for many shall come in my name,
saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. [24:6]And you shall
hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you be not terrified, for all
things must be accomplished; but the end is not yet. [24:7]For nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall
be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in different places;
[24:8]but all these things are the beginning of sorrows.

2 [24:9]Then they shall deliver you to affliction, and kill you, and
you shall be hated by all nations on my account; [24:10]and then many
shall be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another;
[24:11]and many false prophets shall be raised up and deceive many,
[24:12]and because wickedness shall abound the love of the many shall
become cold: [24:13]but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
[24:14]And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.

3 [24:15]When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place--let him that reads
understand,-- [24:16]then let those in Judea flee to the mountains.
[24:17]Let not him that is on his house come down to take the things
from his house; [24:18]and let not him that is in the field return back
to take his clothes; [24:19]and woe to those with child and giving
nurse in those days! [24:20]But pray that your flight may not be in
the winter, nor on the Sabbath; [24:21]for at that time there shall be
great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world
even till now, nor ever shall be. [24:22]And unless those days were
shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those
days shall be shortened.

4 [24:23]Then if one says to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there!
believe it not. [24:24]For false Christs and false prophets shall be
raised up, and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if
possible, even the elect. [24:25]Behold, I have told you before.
[24:26]If, therefore, they say to you, Behold he is in the wilderness,
go not forth; Behold he is in private rooms, believe it not. [24:27]For
as the lightning comes forth from the East, and shines even to the
West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. [24:28] Wherever the
dead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

5 [24:29]And immediately after the affliction
