things shall come to pass? (5)Then Jesus answering them, began to
say, Beware that no man deceive you: (6)for many will come in my name,
saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many. (7)But when ye hear
of wars, and rumours of wars, be not troubled: for these things must
be; but the end is not yet. (8)And nation shall rise up against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers
places, and there shall be famines and commotions: these are the
beginnings of sorrows. (9)But take ye heed to yourselves: for they
shall deliver you up to their sanhedrims, and to the synagogues; ye
shall be beaten with rods, and be set before kings and governors for my
name's sake, for a testimony unto them. (10)And the Gospel must first
be preached to all nations. (11)But when delivering you up, they shall
bring you to the bar, be not previously anxious what ye shall say,
neither premeditate: for it shall be given to you at that very hour,

who are big with child, and who have infants at their breasts in those
days! (18)And pray that your flight be not in winter. (19)For these
days shall bring tribulation, such as the like hath never been from the
beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, and never
shall be more. (20)And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh
would have been preserved: but for the sake of those elect, whom he
hath elected, he hath shortened the days. (21)And then, if any man say
to you, Lo, here is the Messiah! or, lo there! believe it not. (22)For
many false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and shall propose
signs and wonders to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.
